This is from a tree in my back yard. I just can't seem to leave this shot alone. I think it's the combination of textures that attract me. The first time was the second post on this blog and wasn't much more that a snap shot. The second time was a different take on it. I liked the depth of field and the way the subject fell of the left edge, but I wasn't satisfied with the composition. Part of the problem is this scene is about twelve feet off the ground and I've been shooting up at it. So this morning I got out the step ladder and went for a straighter shot. I went with this tight shot because it seemed to simplify a cluttered mess. Don't be surprised if I have another go at this down the road. (It might be nice with snow/frost on it.)
