Beautiful composition Dan, I like it a lot! The black & white filter gives a special atmosphere to your picture. The image renders very well the form of the driftwood in foreground and I like how you frame this driftwood with the opening in the trees.

Well done!

Perfect capture and B/W pic Dan, bravo. Amazing DOF and compo. I, at first sight, can see a couple of statues on this driftwood.
Well done. Thanks for sharing.

A very pretty shot Dan! Great contrast too. The comp is well balanced with subjects going from the lower left rising up to the upper right. Cheers man!

Great composition... Strong!
This piece of wood (in the top) seems a bear... Don´t you think?
Very well composed. You choice about color is good.
Fine shot Dan ;)

Great B&W study Dan, it has wonderful foreground interest with the driftwood, a lovely contrasting backcloth of well defined trees and a great low vanishing point sliding away round the corner. Great contrasts of form, texture and light but Man that frame!!

Hi Dan, great shot. I really like the contrast. The fog in the distance gives this shot an eerie feeling to it. Furthermore, the tree in the background frames it nicely and the log provides a strong foreground element. I also really like the frame. This, and you, are going on my favourites list. Cheers, Don.

Beautiful stump with black trees/fog in the background. Very nice composition. I think your border detracts from the main pix. But it's a good shot, nevertheless.

Great texture! What a bizarre piece of driftwood. The fog adds mood.

A fabulous fragment of no-longer floating flotsam you've found here, Daniel. Photo wise, a fundamentally fine image, finished off by a phenomianlly fair frame. Finally, I'd favour a further fragment of firewood falling farther up the image, with a fidgeting fat, but friendly, Filipino fellow (first name Phil) standing on a fast ferry to facilitate a feeling of scale.

Fantastic photograph, and possibly a fitting fixture to add to the fabulous Fox Talbot Musuem (Lacock, Wiltshire).

fffffffffffff......

Regards,

Vic, Fingapore.

PS I forgot to comment on the fog fittingly floating further up the photograph & the flora's foliage finish off a fine formation!
