I can see how it might be possible for a man to look down upon earth and be an atheist, but I cannot conceive how he could look up into the heavens and say there is no God. - Abraham Lincoln
What a stunning place. As soon as i saw this i realised it must be Canada. I think that the composition of the image is so clever and well thought out. On first glance the focus on the photo appears to be the trees but when you look at it full screen you realise that the real star is in fact those absolutely stunning mountains that are a quite presence in the background. It is perfectly balanced, lighting is phenomenal and the real triumph is that you chose black and white! Utter perfection in my opinion!
He who dwells in the shelter of the Most High will rest in the shadow of the almighty. I will say of the Lord, "He is my refuge and my fortress, my God in whom i trust". Psalm 91: 1 and 2
It's a beautifully balanced photo with an excellent range of light and dark. The scene itself is impressive and your photo certainly does it justice. I might have liked a little more space on the left, past the point of land,but generally the composition is magnificent. Bravo!
For the invisible things of Him from the creation of the world are clearly seen, being understood by the things that are made, His eternal power and Godhead;... Rom 1:20
Caveats?
With a qualifier upfront, in that I am viewing your image here on a CRT monitor..
A tad dark. A tad. Some details appear to be blocked in the shadowed areas.
That said and reiterating..
Nice shot.
And but of course, thank you for sharing this one with us. :o)
