I like this. I like the single dead one amongst the living, though it is kinda sad. I also like (a lot) that it isn't mega-sharp and oversaturated. I have a fondness for the gentler nature of shots.
A good "From the Ground Up" concept, but just a tad unexciting for me.....I saw too many tree shots in this challenge. Tree shots had to be off the charts good to inspire me at all after a while. I really like the title!
I expected to see a lot of trees, and heres another one. Great sharpness though. I was about to say some fill light would be better but this actualy makes it cleaner and more dramatic
