Wow...it looks almost surreal - like a painting in a fantasy book or something. Could have been in Tolkein's book.

What a moody photo! Well done Craig. I am into 'out of the woods" photos at the moment. Thanks for visiting my blog and leaving comments while it was in caretaker mode, much appreciated.

Definitely another Lord of the Rings candidate. Did you find any hobbits living under this tree?

The tangle of roots and the tangle of branches are amazing and in total harmony. Another brilliant photo. :)

I was just thinking some band of Orks should be marching along the top.
Another grrreat shot.

Another cool roots shot. Did you do any PP or were the tones/lighting on the roots that cool already?

Wow, these look like ancient roots indeed! And what a fabulous wood !! Truly fantastic capture, Craiger!! I must echo Celia and VF here on the Tolkien reminder; I do sense Ents in this one! Hush now….....:)

Wow, like looking at a cut in half piece of earth. Very astounding capture!

This is really fascinating!! So we can see what happens under the ground with the trees and how strong the roots are.
