Root on Rock hinoki cypress....a few years

Around 2003...

In 2007...

Present day...

Same image but with different placement of the smaller stone and different lighting to highlight more detail.

Howzit Tom,

Nice job...I like the detail of the rock. Well done.

I remember this composition from years ago - it's matured nicely. The stone looks great in the last shot.

I must say, better rock the image just hits in.

Them horisontal lines in the rock, give the tree a real lift.

nicely put sjapoo!

I see the coast of California - especially near Monterey.

The last photo does the composition more justice but I like the little rock separated.

Thanks to you all for your input. Rob: The Monterey Peninsula has served as my continued inspiration for this composition...it makes me glad that "it takes you there." I feel as you, do, in retrospect, regarding the smaller stone being separated a bit.

Regards,
Tom

"...I see the coast of California - especially near Monterey..."

I was gunna say the same thing Rob...

So...onward...

Stunning rock Tom...and a wonderful tree...the famous Lone Cypress on the golf course.

Pat…mounted on my trusted stead, riding off wildly in all directions…

My thanks for all of your comments....glad you enjoyed the composition...it is one of my favorites as well.
My wife and I would very much like to eventually visit the west coast of California, particularly the Monterey Peninsula and Big Sur areas...that trip is on our "bucket list" along with so many other beautiful areas of the U.S.

Regards,
Tom
