    Re: Giant redwoods

    its a very cool shot..looks better blown up in photo gallery. I think the trunk carries this pic and the canopy is kinda a nice abstract..bokeh if you will.
    Please ask to edit photos and I'll do the same! :thumbsup:
    Thx, Rod

    I agree with Rod. You done very good for what light you had. Good shot Rick.

    I agree with the other comments here. You composed this really well, and although the lighting was harsh it all seems to come together anyway in this abstract-like image.
    Good going, Rick

    WOW Incredible!
    The on in the user gallery definitely is impressive!
    It even gives me the kind of feeling I get standing on a high place and looking up ( I have a kind of reverse vertigo - clinbing anything I feel much better looking down than up!)
    Definitely very very nice!

    Great point of view on this one. I like the texture of the bark. Well done.

    Wow, pretty amazing angle. Sure looks like it's exploding. I wonder if it would be even better if the sun were directly behind the branches and leaves there, or how it would look in the fall.
