I took this photo during a trip to Costa Rica last year.

Oops, the subject of this post should be "Cloud", not "Rosewood trees."

Response to Rosewood trees

Joe,
I like this photo, but maybe it needs a little more detail (greater exposure) in the cloud, so that the whole cloud has the appearence of the lower right. This almost makes the "great photo" group!

Response to Rosewood trees

Different people have different tastes - I like the darkness of these clouds, in fact, it makes them special. If they were your run of the mill white ones, it would be boring. The "back lighting" accentuates the edges and is nice. Certainly a keeper.

I agree that the darkness of this shot makes it as profound as it is. What film/lens/filters did you use? It looks as though it were taken later in the day with a polarizer.

I did not use any filters for this photograph. This was shot late in the day from a street in downtown San Jose, Costa Rica, using a Nikon 70-210 zoom on a Nikon 6006. I bracketed the expsosure and prefered the darkest image.

Very nice photo graph. If you wanted to make a graphic statement, you may wish to combine it with siloette (SP?) of a bird ( gull ). Very nice as a study in tone and from. Equally nice in BW.
