Shadow Play

On a windy day with vegetation blowing around, one option is to head into the woods and find something that doesn't move, like a rock. I found one with a branch against it such that the bright sun shone underneath onto one side of the rock. The challenge was to find a nice arrangement of light and shadow. To add further interest a few twigs cast shadows into the sunlit area. Not being sure which plane is in front of the other adds to the game.

A two shot focus stack, manually blended to get the branch sharp.
