The hunters having taken their trophy left behind the carcass to be picked over by the scavengers. They quickly stripped it down to the bones that lay there on the forest floor exposed to the elements for years becoming weathered and polished with the passage of time. Now old and brittle they face the final indignity. Then some idiot photographer comes along and gets it all wrong. Such is life.
Enjoy and your comments welcomed.

One of your best narratives, Wendell. Your prose style is glorious when you actually try. As for the image, it's pretty damn good but not as good as the foggy tree shot. Entire stands of dead trees are common around here following forest fires. Because a California wild fire is oftentimes accompanied by 60 mph winds, the heat is deadly but can leave behind a tree that looks barely burned. Unfortunately they are left looking just like your shot.
This could have almost been a monotone postings since the colors are pretty sparse. I probably would have returned on a sunny day for another try because the contrast seems to bring out the textures a little better when I try anything like this. Your focus is not soft on this shot although I wouldn't say it's sharp either. I can't complain that the subject is centered because the entire shot is the subject. In a perfect world the sky wouldn't be white, but in a sense the sky enhances the dreariness of the scene.
I don't see any noise or motion blur; so you're a step or three ahead of me. Your "wow" factor is way down because of the subject. I'm not even sure Mt. Everest in the background could have got this a 7.

I may be schizophrenic, but at least I have each other.
A fine perspective, Wendell. You have told it well. I like how you handle every subject with insight and respect.

I like this photo for many reasons and it reminds us that trees die standing up.

The reason why the sun sets in the evening is because it wants to see the sunrise in the morning. I rise in the morning because I want to see them both. RvdB
All I know is "Dead Trees Don't Wear Plaid."
I feel like I have woken up in a brush pile. Cool shot.
