I have always had an emotional connection with trees. Trees have been a favorite subject for me to photograph. In a sense this is an intimate photograph. Many of my shots are "quiet", and I try to make the "ordinary" compelling to look at. This is not taken in an exotic location, but very close to home. At first glance, the scene may look mundane, but on closer inspection, there are a lot of interesting details displayed here. There is the contrast between the dark trunks and the overall light value of the scene. Then the similarity of the vertical lines also create their own element, while also contrasting with the horizontal branches in the top third of the image. The "S" curve is a very strong element in the image. It is one of the most desirable shapes to have in an image. It reinforces the "quietness" of the scene.
