Loc: Olympic Peninsula, WA
On the way up a rib out of no-trail Lillian Creek Valley near Lillian Ridge / Obstruction Point, Olympic National Park.
I had broken out of the timber into supablpine terrain about 15 minutes prior.
It was a hot day, and the 4000 foot climb out of the depths of the valley with my regular hiking gear and the heavy camera and tripod, AND a couple of quarts of water, made for a temporary loss of about 2-3 pounds of body weight.
A LOT of sweat that day! :-)
Still trying to "dial in" my skill at camera movements...thus a bit of softness in the foreground. I'll get it right soon.

I like how the foreground is in shadow and the stump leads you right out into that sunlight. A powerful and very impressive landscape photograph.

That's an awesome shot. And it appears that your focusing was dead-on. It's as though the stump is opening its hands and saying, "ta da!"

Great image, Larry.
Beautifully composed to accentuate its depth!

Hi, Larry,
I processed your image as a Monocular Depth Cue Stereograph, and here ‘tiz!
