Hey everyone...
This shot was taken on Saturday morning right before our whole Easter weekend went south as I had to rush my wife to hospital and we lost our baby at 5 weeks...as you can imagine it's been an emotional ride from then.
:(
Afterwards this tree made me think about the cycle of life and death. How many storms has it weathered? How many scars does it bear?
This is a 3-image HDR processed in Photomatix and Photoshop CS3.
Techs:
Canon 1000D with 18-55mm IS @ 18mm
f11 @ ISO-200
The sky was overcast with the sun behind the clouds right in my view so the high-key effect is intended.
I hope this is wide enough not to be considered a plant "close-up" hehe
