I could see a procession down that grove and I'd like to be in it!

Taste sufficient of the photograph! You unite taste of the nature very… I adored

Nice comp ...well done ..Love the colors ...

Such a stately place..if they were among the first temples, I can see why they might have been chosen. I like the idea of a pine stand and the creation of a composition with them as the focal point. Your perspective is different from the one I had in mind to do and this viewpoint is a perfect way to capture what you've stated in your title. For one thing we are looking up the incline toward them and that sets the mood for the vision they create...they seem larger than life and indeed as a temple that's exactly what they would have to portray. So as we begin to ascend to the area with the soaring columns created by the looming pines, we can appreciate even what appears to be a dead tree to the left along the way. The clarity here is good as is evidenced by the shadow that that tree casts on the ground as we toil ever closer, and casting our eyes to the left with the tree dwarfed by the pines and complimented by the cornfield that lies in the background supporting the differing blues from the bottom to the top in the sky. I can hear the corn leaves rustle in a natural musical tribute as I hesitate just outside, smelling the dried needles on the floor, gazing into the cool interior of the stand. Composition, DOF....these elements are all contained in the above description, or I would never have been able to convey to you how I felt as I drank this beauty in. As an aside as to composition, the first thing I thought when I saw the tree to the left was "cloning out tool", but then it became such a hallmark of stark contrast, I couldn't imagine this image without it..well done :)PJ

Well, I counted about thirty and had to stop. There is a variety of trees in the shot that adds interest to the monotony of so many pines. Then there is the repetition of that in the many stalks of corn in the field. Very thoughtfully composed shot, Terry.

What terrific composition, Terry. Love the vantage point you shot from. The trees look exactly like a temple - wonderful blend-in quote! And that dead tree in the foreground makes an interesting contrast. Very nice!

Dynamite composition Terry and lovely colors. It just invites you to 'come on up here and take a walk with me'. Truly awesome and excellent work.

The title says it all. We have the living among the dead and the dead is making a last stand. Lovely grove of trees. I can just feel the cool of the leaves. Well done.

Lovely presentation Terry!.....nicely captured too.........

Perfect unison and an excellent capture Terry. I love the color and texture of the trees here.

OMG ! That is great its so beautifull! I love these trees on the hill! Great work !

Terrific composition Terry...The older tree on left of frame really gives this image nice balance...like it...gerry..

Ah, the elderly tree in the foreground vs. the man planted rows of evergreens beyond. I'm not sure which is more majestic--the one who survived on his own or the ones who were nurtured into be-ing...
