Cluttered Decay

Walking through the woods with camera in hand, I came across this old tree stump discarded by nature amongst the leaf and branch clutter and wondered is this nature's plan? I submit that it is certainly part of the overall plan to attempt to rejuvenate the planet. As the stump and leaves decay, they feed the minute creatures such as termites, carpenter ants, and finally the earthworms to replenish the soil and start the cycle of growth and decay all over again. I hope that I've portrayed that feeling in this capture. Please try the download.

Thanks Carol, often times its difficult to really portray a feeling in a photograph. This one portrays in my mind at least several emotions. Again thanks for looking and commenting. :-D

Jim,
A strong, highly effective...and affective...image. The toning and explicit vignette productively add to the impact.
"Thought-provoking" is an understatement.
Congratulations. You have accomplished your goal.

Thank you Randy, really glad you enjoyed it. It's a bit of a departure from birds and bugs I'll admit, but this image struck me at the time. Thanks again for taking the time to look and comment.
