Silver from the shadows

My inspiration for landscape photography came from seeing some of the incredible images of Ansel Adams when I was at high school - his mastery of monochrome coupled with the tonal ranges he produced in some great compositions was and still is what I aspire to. On nearly all journeys I photograph trees, hardly any of these images are good enough to even process but every now and then I capture a handful I enjoy and Brownsea Island is often the place that produces these.

This is one of my favourites from this trip and best viewed at the largest size. Hope you enjoy
