I was out in Golden Gate park and really wanted to get a good growth after death shot with some natural objects. I spotted this little guy on what appears to be a dead redwood tree.

It's interesting how rich a dead tree can actually be for a small sprout like this. I tried to capture both the life and death within the same focal plane (which explains the focus on the bark and the sprout). Thanks!

Classic renewal shot. Well done.

Happy shooting,
Yakim.

I love how the focus is spot on for what you were trying to convey and everything else goes to smooth and creamy blur. Great idea and execution.

It took a few shots to get that right. I had to lean at an angle, with the sprout just on the same plane using a 50mm. After a cramp in my leg, I finally got it!

Thanks!
