Recently a friend and I went driving with the aim to find places we thought looked interesting, including the area in which the below photo was taken.
When we got out of the car and took a few photos, my friend pointed out this cluster of trees and told me I should take a photo. At first I wasn’t going to, or at least I pretended I wasn’t going to, but then I did.
A lot of how this looks came through in processing. There was something in the scene that I saw that is one of a few things I’m trying to reach in terms of photography, and this is kind of close to that, though it’s a bit off too.
This is my submission into the three hundred-and-fourth Lens-Artists Photo Challenge. The theme for this one is “Behind“.
I think this fits the theme quite well as it’s the clouds that help set the scene and mood. I think if the sky had been clear, then this would feel quite different.
The host of the Lens-Artists challenges cycles weekly between the following people:
Ritva is curating this one. Next week Egídio is curating.
I recommend participating in the challenges as they provide a fun way to interpret theme. If not participating, then at least you should still check out what others of the Lens-Artists community are submitting.
I hope you enjoy.




The clouds are a lovely background for the tree silhouette, the shape of the trees stand out beautifully

I think the bright sky in the background is greatly enhanced by the silhouette in the foreground. Beautiful capture!
