single photos roots

this is from my first roll. i've just gotten interested in

photography, and any feedback you can give me would be great. please

check out my other photos too. there's another picture of this, with

the description that this root structure is "troubling". i think

it's amazing, but what do you think?

i could understand one aspect of why the root structure might be 'troubling' -- instead of looking like typical roots, all radiating out from the center, these look like a pile of bones, i.e., turkey wishbones, but huge. they're in such a tangle that they *look* like something alive used to be inside of them. i think the contrast in your shot emphasizes the oddity.

I totally agree with Leif; when I saw the thumbnail I thought I was looking at a twisted pile of bones. The B&W really adds to the illusion because without any color, our eyes are forced to recognize the object based soley on shape.

 

I like the contrast between the dark trees in the back and the light ground. I might have composed the shot with the tree a little lower in the frame to create more empty space on top, but that's just a personal preference.
