There Is a Rhythm, a Circle In Life, If You Will (New River Gorge National Park & Preserve)

            There Is a Rhythm, a Circle In Life, If You Will.
Trees of the forest take in carbon, letting out precious oxygen
That I in turn breathe in and later exhale.
I give a hello to the trees as I walk by;
They wave back with a passing breeze
We only met momentarily on a walk of mine
But I have talked with brethren of theirs around the world.
If you could just wait a minute, my friend
I just want to soak in the sunshine from above.

Another work of short poetry or prose to complement the image captured one morning in New River Gorge National Park & Preserve not long after I started to walk the Endless Wall Trail. With this image, I took advantage of the tall trees in the way they seemingly converged over me. I went with as wide an angle view as I could with the lens on my Nikon SLR camera in order to more fully bring out that spoke-type look with the trees coming together. I decided to meter for an area of the tree leaves somewhat caught in the sunlight but still slightly shadowed. That would allow me to minimize blowing any highlights while being able to later pull out the more shadowed areas without a color cast. I did some initial post-processing work making adjustments to contrast, brightness and saturation while playing around as I learned how to work with DxO PhotoLab 4. I then exported a TIFF image to Nik Color Efex Pro 4 where I added a Polarization and Foliage filter for that last effect on the image captured.
