Hey, what up Dan? I'm so glad you're back! A really great shot with an awesome choice of B&W. I love the tangle and the stark white of the Birch in the foreground. You rock!!
Nice tone and contrast against the darker colored trees...birch is one of my favorite trees...I used to make things out of the birch bark when I was a kid and have some silver birch china in my home...good shot and welcome back.
That's one Birchin' tree Scene, Fifth!! I would Almost feel Frightened, and Yet, I spy Sasquatch in the Background there... Ready to save me from Any hangnail that Might occur! A job Well done, my Friend!!
