There's a cut-off utility pole with a really neat moss colony on top. I've been playing with it, but not really sure what to do with it. On the one hand, I like the weathered wood, on the other, if I cropped in and removed the context, it would look like a forest on Venus or somehing... Different framing? Different perspective? Different light? Cheat and add some water from a spray bottle?
(The image resizer I used to get this to fit on here made it really flat and lifeless)
I would use flahes on both sides (with color gels or not) and shoot a straight proxy scene from the bottom line, as if it was shot in a jungle.
If nothing else, I'm going to play with the pixel shift (whatever Canon calls it) feature on the camera and go for a mega-resolution image I can drill into.
Should be a decent subject for that, since it's not going to move or be affected by wind...😝

This is my version of this Photo. Looks like an alien world.
As others had already said you should take this picture straight in front of the log.

I tried that. The problem is, the utility pole that they replaced this one with, is right behind it - nice, new, light colored wood. Very distracting. 🤬This was about the only angle where I could get it out of frame, and I think the power company would frown on it if I got the chainsaw out....
Of course if I focus in more tightly on the moss, I have much more latitude.
This was a half-assed attempt at a focus stack - I manually changed focus points and then took four shots.
Maybe I'll try a whole bunch of different stuff - the moss seems to be a fairly cooperative subject - and post 'em and let you guys decide !
@Bo Gussname If you take the picture concentrate on the alian world. Ignore the utility pole (if this is possible).
