Never Give Up

Rambling along a creek in the region of Wechsel, a mountain in Lower Austria, I found this fallen tree with new trunks arising from the old one. I had the chance to take the shot just when rain has stopped, leaving lush colors.

This definitely tells a story of survival Peter. Beautiful lush greens and good use of the diagonal branches to lead the viewer into the scene.

Good subject, Peter. Diagonals make this a dynamic composition for me. I like the way the green-covered branches help emphasize the direction of the flow of the water.

I had to look at this a while to decide if I liked it. In a sense, the strong image of the creek dilutes attention owed to the subject, the fallen tree. The more I look, however, the more I like it. A little tension is not a bad thing.

I know I like it and only wish for more. I feel I know why your choice of composition, however this image absolutely begs more views.. Well done, Peter.

This is an interesting subject and you portray it with a good composition. I like the role of the water, particularly how it adds structure and interest in the lower part.

Looks like a place I just came from...

This is very nice Peter. The large version is especially enjoyable for me.

Interesting in so many ways. Has a strong sense of truth and is so artistic at the same time. Well done.
