Winter Walkabout

It looks like late November. Is the broken tree or the one beside it cut by a beaver?

Broken, most likely from the weight of heavy snow on leafy trees. Thanks for viewing and commenting.

I like the first one for the skies included in it and the people; #2 is a good triangle sort of shot but my favourite is #3. I see a lot of them here in my backyard and I was thinking of the title should be "Hanging On"...

Izzie,

Thanks for the comments. Look closer at the third image, it's doing more than hanging on. I didn't notice it until after I started processing. My original title was going to be "Last One Standing".

Looks like a nice day for a walk. Like the leaf shot.

John,
In the second image, in lightbox and full enlargement, you have a much better image of just the broken tree and reflection. By cropping it to just above where the trunk broke (and eliminating the notched tree near/behind it) gives you a great image/reflection; mayhaps try converting it to B&W? I think it would be a very strong image if you did.
Also, the last, leaf image is quite interesting as well. Cool beans.

I noticed that ! If that is a live thingie, I could have said "Impaled."

Yes, so would I. Funny how I didn't notice when photographing, however I only had the 85mm lens with me so I could only get so close to the image and for once I didn't pixel peep.

Nice images John. Looks like something has bee gnawing away at the bottom of the grey tree trunk in the second image.

Jack,

Here is another shot of the broken tree which I composed in a horizontal format.

Very nice shots John, I prefer the second version of the broken tree with reflection

PS. Jack's crop suggestion might work well too.
