| Love those twisted branches reluctantly reaching out. Nice landscape. |

| This is a beautiful b&w. I especially like the detail in the grass and the way the regrowth on the tree at the left stands out. Nevertheless, I like the color version better. That vivid green really brings out the new growth. |

Remember my Side Challenge theme is Minimal B&W In-Camera. Although, I did process this one a bit for exposure. So... yep, it would have more impact, I think. When shooting for in camera .jpg, I alway use Raw+JPG settings. See below for a quick take of a color version:

| The rebirth of nature. It's amazing how nature reclaims things, it's part of life. I particularly like the designs in the trees overhead that appear to be waving in all directions as if to say, "we're still here!" |

Thanks for the nice comments on the set here. I'd definitely spend some time on it before sharing this as anything other than "minimal" processing. But, I've been so focused on the exposure and contrast results of these in-camera jpgs that I hadn't noticed the pipe. |

| This kind of reverses the order of your other image in that here there's only a patch of sky. The results, though, are the same -- another fine picture. Forest depictions can often be an indecipherable mass but here, with liberal spacing, the trees are easily distinguished and have twisty character. The lush, light undergrowth helps to set them apart. The sunlit patch of leaves on the left makes the picture. It's a enchanting focal point. I like how you can feel the terrain, the upward slope. My only quibble is that the vertical pipe on the left is a distraction. |

| This is so bucolic that it's hard for me to imagine the horrific thing of the recent past |

is this about 8 months after the fire . ?
with the new growth ..
there is a beauty to fire .. altho it can be destructive ..
this is quite an impactful image with the black of the trees and the almost white of the grass .. looks like this photo could have been taken in australia .. :)
i was going to try and tell you about australias ecosystem and that some native trees need fires to procreate .. but rather than trying to explain i googled it for you .. :)
"Bushfires are an intrinsic part of Australia's environment. Natural ecosystems have evolved with fire, and the landscape, along with its biological diversity, has been shaped by both historic and recent fires. Many of Australia's native plants are fire prone and very combustible, while numerous species depend on fire to regenerate. Indigenous Australians have long used fire as a land management tool and it continues to be used to clear land for agricultural purposes and to protect properties from intense, uncontrolled fires." |
