Description
In 2 Samuel 1:19 David laments the death of King Saul and his son Jonathan at the hand of the Philistines. While exploring the Redwoods along the Avenue of the Giants I came upon this scene and was immediately reminded of the story. It was very quiet and it definitely put me into a contemplative mood. Even the mighty fall. But this one at least is a source of new growth.
Specific Feedback
As you might imagine, this was a challenging exposure with the direct sunlight filtering through the canopy combined with the deep shadows inside the root cavity. I shot this with HDR in mind but was not happy with the results output by LRC. I sat on it for some time but I acquired Luminar Neo and decided to give it a try. It was significantly better and produced this result. This stuff is scary impressive.
