Challenge: Ansel Adams (Advanced Editing IV)
Camera: Olympus E-300 EVOLT
Location: Woods behind my house
Date: Mar 2, 2005
Aperture: f8.0
ISO: 100
Shutter: 1/160 sec
Date Uploaded: Mar 2, 2005

Tried to shoot tree stumps or dead trees in the style of Adams. According to my books with his later shots, he seemed to look for the unusual detail when shooting dead trees and stumps; also, the contrast in snowy areas of the stumps. I didn't do much with this shot except clone out a branch at right in the snow and adjust contrast.

Thank you for some people who liked this shot..I have a book about Adams' older years taking shots and many looked similar to this, but I guess nobody really liked it much..haha..everyone who gave me 5 and above and to the 17 people who gave me 7 or more,,thank you very much, I really tried to do something different.

Would have scored higher if the tree didnt appear to be leaning so much.

To me, the out of focus branches in the background are a little distracting.

Great level of exposure to keep the crispness of the snow.

Shallow depth of field will hurt you in this contest

Very intimate feel to this one. The tones are welcoming and engaging. Nice work! 9
