Just woods near the side of the road. I've been looking at this area several times a week for the past few years and finally stopped and got out with the camera.
Just noticed you'd uploaded a third image. This is full of movement, the lighter tones of the leaves seem to dance across the darker vegetation while the trunks provide a more structured support to the other elements. I've been experimenting with shooting in the forest lately, it can be a bit daunting (at least for me). Nice work.
Thanks Everybodies. I have been on the chaotic woods stuff for the past few years. It is rough getting it just right, but when you do . . .
I printed this late last night and brought it into work today to scan. When I showed Michael tonight he gave me one of the best comments ever. "This looks what I did but much better." or course he did follow that with "Now if you can just get a good black . . ." But he did say it might be one of my best pictures ever. Not bad I guess.
I am working on a pin registration system for making a copy neg mask to bump up the blacks and another to get some selective burning going on.
