I took this by resting the camera on a chest-high stump actually. There isn't a lot of color and I think the monochrome brings up the drama and texture.

Works for me!

me too. I like the b&w. there are lots of stands like this here too

I like it too!

thanks guys. It reminded me of that scene in Miller's Crossing.

Nice tones overall:thumbup: Would there have been more vegetation on the forest floor before the clear cut?
