I originally went out to shoot Pine Mountain yesterday near Saint George, Utah because they just got a fresh blanket of snow a couple nights ago, but as I was hiking to this location I found many "burnt" tree's, I'm guessing from a forest fire caused by lightning. Either way, it made for some very interesting pictures.

The lighting here is lovely. I also love combination of warm and cool colours. I find it interesting how you composed with mostly cropping the tops of the trees out of the image. It's really neat, gives an entirely different feeling to the image focusing mainly on the light and grasses. The softness of the grasses also make for an interesting contrast to the blunt twisted dark branches. The branches give a somewhat "creepy" feel to the image, but the golden light contradicts their creepiness, haha. A really unique landscape image, I love it. Nicely done Michael.
Very kind of you Alyssa! Trunk shots are so tricky, and like I was discussing with Nzeman, Thomas Mangelsen is the king of them. This particular spot was pretty good because of the contrast of the tree's and 'weeds' like you said. I was going for a creepy feel with this picture because of the trees, but the warm light and textures really balance this piece out! haha. I'll take what nature produces. Late in the day here really does make everything glow, I don't know if it's this time of year or what, but I love it.
When did it suddenly become cool to hate everything? It's a growing problem, especially in the entertainment world, and no one benefits from an increasingly hard to please, pessimistic audience.
Daily Literature Deviations is a group that is dedicated to bringing literature to the forefront of the deviantArt community. We attempt to accomplish this by daily featuring Literature artists from around the community that deserve the recognition, but are not getting it. Each day we will feature 5 deviations from the Literature categories in a News Article.
In order to support the artists that we feature, we ask that you the news article as well as check out the individual pieces. We understand that each day you may not be able to check out each and every one of the pieces, everyone has their own things going on. We just ask that you make an attempt to help support the growing Literature community.
Have a great time everyone and please fav this article so as many people can see the featured works. I would recommend seeing each one and faving them too.
