I like your take on this John. As they say....A picture tells a Thousand Words couldn't be more True.
Thanks for sharing.

The trees must have 'duked' it out!..lol..One lived and one died. Too bad for the dead one in the water, but this sure made a beautiful piece for you to capture though! Excellent find and photo!

A fallen comrade I would say. I'm liking this B/W series. I think you and reflections are going to make a great team. Very good work John.

I don't think the one in the water will make the Olympic trials. Great b&w study.

I like the black and white. A good choice. I also like the positioning of the tree to the right. The shot is a visual Darwinion phrase. 'Only the strong survive'. Great shot.

Down for the count! Very nice B&W again, John. Is there a novel that goes with the picture? I think you might be inspiring me to try my hand at another B&W. Very soon, I hope. This is a great composition.

All my previous comments apply. You are experimenting with black and white aren't you, I can see that this one's desaturated. I think it suits you very well!

I think everyone has said what I wanted to say on this one! I really do agree that the B&W works well with this capture too. Well done!
