When I was a boy, I could not resist a place like this. Heck, I am still a boy at heart. Nicely done.

Thanks, Ben. "The woods are lovely, dark and deep."

Beautiful photo Rick, nicely composed and processed. The log in the foreground, temporarily stopping one's path, makes one look and consider the eerie state of the forest. The downed, intertwined trees and branches, sitting there lifeless in a chaotic scene. Not a very inviting feeling to go forward, but nonetheless beautiful in it's own way.

Wonderful shot and composition Rick. Love the leading lines from the path by the fallen log to the path into the woods.

Thanks very much Steve and Roberta. Vagrants sometimes camp in this area.

I'm glad to see others enjoy 'woods' photos too - scenes often overlooked as not fitting a particular genre.

Great eye and processing,

Bob

What's in a name, or in this case, a title?

I immediately thought of my vintage 78 rpm copies of "The Teddy Bear's Picnic" ("If you go down to the woods today"). It also conjured up the Brothers Grimm (the actual brothers, not the movie) and various spooky segments on Disney's "Wonderful World of Color", which I watched on a black and white TV.

Therefore, before even opening the thread, I had some preconceived notions of what might await, including the "dark and deep" you mentioned. I was surprised to find a photograph of woods that certainly look spooky, but photographed at what appears to be a cloudless midday. If there is to be a correlation between the title and the photograph, I wonder if the correlation would be tighter if the photograph was taken near dusk, especially if there was a cloudy, ominous looking sky.

+1. I feel there is a pretty large disconnect between the title and image presented. The title preps my mind for a dark, moody and atmospheric shot that makes me feel a little uncertain and brews tension. I feel the image is too bright and busy to convey the message that I was expecting as a viewer.

My (extremely rough and overexaggerated) idea below.

Cheers!

Jeff

Shall we argue over the choice of a title or over a photo?

I believe that they go hand in hand.

And this is no argument, it's a discussion - big difference!

Yes "discussion" bad choice of a word on my part
