Backlit Moss

Critique Style Requested: Standard

The photographer is looking for generalized feedback about the aesthetic and technical qualities of their image.

Description

Looking at this scene through the view finder all I was waiting for was something to “click”. When capturing small scenes like this I like to pan around the entire scene with my camera, so I can uncover the different composition possibilities. Initially I had just the one strand of backlit Spanish Moss but as soon as l discovered that I could use the tree bark to frame the moss it all “clicked” together.

Drishti, this is dramatic and minimalist. In the large version, the bits of color are an intriguing addition that add well to the viewing.
