FALLEN NORSE GOD

Taking photos in a wood while the sun was shining and yet it was raining I came across this uprooted tree. The top of the root reminded me of drawings I seen of Norse gods and I had to start shooting. All my shots were hand held as I felt I was in the moment.

Very hard subject , you have done a wonderful job holding it all together , having those trees in the background straight and narrow adds a great deal , the root itself almost feels secondary ...

Nicely done. A complex but entirely coherent composition. The moss texture is very good - sunlit and soggy.

I love this image. Something about the forest always speaks to me. Anyway, I wonder if this is Yggdrasil, the Tree of the World, which shudders and falls in The Ragnarokk, you know, when the sun turns black and all the dead Vikings sail a sea of blood in ships made of fingernails, Odin gets swallowed by the wolf, etc...kind of like now, but without the 24hr news cycle

Thank you everyone for your vote of approval. @puptent : Thanks for the history and legends surrounding the Norse gods.
