2 very old Oak trees, vertical pano, 50mm on D800

Great, and gnarly at the same time! 

[Bear Dale]

I like the light and the composition Keith.

[Fons Baerken]

Wonderful like an etching engraving by Rembrandt.

[Bill Mellen]

Very nice captivating image Keith!

[John Geerts]

Great structure and impressive details.

[Akira]

You captured this amazing graphics of the nature!

[golunvolo]

Intense, great, alive, full of detail, graphics. Enjoying your choice of crop and postprocessing. This image is hypnotic. I bet printed big big big will be something to get lost in.

  Thanks for sharing!

Thanks guys.  I thought of labelling it 'Fight Between Two Trees'.

Keith, I really like this.  The composition is great, and the contrast and choice of midpoint seem just right, very natural. It really captures the way light filters down through trees or a forest canopy, dark trunks and boughs up close framing windows to the brightly illuminated outer leaves and branches. I opened the full-size image on a big monitor - well worth it, as Paco suggests.  Cheers, John

John, thanks for your observations.  I shot these 2 frames last November and pano merged them within a day or so.  Then I didn't look at the file again until many months later. In re-examining the file, the thing that stood out was that the shot is greatly helped by the sunlight hitting one tree more strongly than the other. 'Separation', they called it in Cinematography class.
