Taking The Strain

Exploring the woods on another cloudy day, I tried to make a photograph of this fallen trunk showing how the smaller trees have taken the brunt of its downfall. Rather than the whole view, I concentrated on the crux where most of the weight is supported.

Even with the help of the snow to isolate the darker wood, it was difficult to make the subject clear against the background. With a little dodging and burning, I think I managed to make a good fist of it?

Also today I posted 'Soft Reflected Light' for yesterday.
