When trees lives over 4000 years... III Photo

Photographer’s Note

The Ancient Bristlecone Pine Forest, located in the White Mountains of California, is home to the oldest known living trees on earth, the Great Basin Bristlecone Pine Pinus longaeva. The oldest tree, nicknamed "Methuselah", is more than 4,750 years old, and is not marked to ensure added protection from vandals. The grove lies in the Inyo National Forest, between 3,000-3,300 m (10,000-11,000 feet) above sea level.

I like this one. The big diagonal and the bended trees are two important features of this shot. The passing white clouds add to the dynamism of the picture. Also, you managed excellent polarised colours. Well done.

Bonjour Jurgita,
c'est simple mais tellement parlant sur la plan de la qualité de prise de vue, un emploi judicieux du polarisant et un couple 30D + 10-20 qui donne une netteté parfaite.
Excellent travail effectué sous des lumières très propices.
Regards.
Daniel.

Nice shot.
I would personally prefer the colors not to be turned on so much with the polarizer and I would rather take the white cloud from behind the tree and put it beside it.
But it is the matter of personal preference.
Good job.
