oak meets beech

Gallery: POP PhotosPosted February 25, 2018633 views2 comments

While strolling through Rock Creek Park, D.C, I chanced upon a small section of oak bark lying amongst the leafy detritus of the forest floor. I propped it against one of the many smooth bark beech trees for contrast. Chestnut oaks and American beech are common to Rock Creek Park.

I appreciate that you tried something different. I have looked at the image for a while and two things that, at least from my perspective, are what struck me. One is that it did not hold my attention very long and two is the background was busy enough and in focus enough that it kept drawing my eye away from the main subject.
