DPNow Salon Competition No.129 - "THE FOREST"

I think that this has been an ellusive subject. Read carefully.
Definition: A forest, also referred to as a wood or the woods, is an area with a high density of trees. Although forests are classified primarily by trees, the concept of a forest ecosystem includes additional species (such as smaller plants, fungi, bacteria and animals of the forest).
A typical forest is composed of the overstory (canopy or upper tree layer) and the understory. The understory is further subdivided into the shrub layer, herb layer, and also the moss layer and soil. We stop here. As you can see the spectrum is very wide, allowing all photographers to participate. Please be creative, and donīt hessitate to show your pictures. Let us make a great salon all together. Please get into the woods and into the files.

The rules, as usual:

1. All photographs are to be uploaded to the photo gallery at http://dpnow.com/galleries/


They can be put in members own gallery if they wish. The resulting link generated for the photo will then be pasted into the next available space in the salon tread. Please keep photos to a maximum of 800 pixel wide so people can see the whole image without scrolling.

2. One entry per user ID only please, which must be the personal work of the entrant.

3. Entries should be "in line" within the thread (not as a links to an image held somewhere else).

4. Comments only on entries are welcome within the salon thread itself.

5. After the close the curator will indicate a winner and a couple of runners up.

6. The curators decision is final.

7. Winners should be offered first refusal to choose the next theme and curate the next salon.

8. If the winner is unable to curate the next salon the current curator may offer that "honour" to any willing volunteer, possibly the entrant in second or third place.

9. These rules are to be copied and pasted with the new theme by the curator at the top of the new salon thread with a finish date and time.

10. As with all photos posted on DPNow, copyright remains with the photographer and DPNow will not use them without permission.

This Salon will end at Midnight GMT on sunday 9th September 2012
Waiting for you!



Horacio

I have a photo of snow covered trees that I like but I'm going with this one I took last autumn in Vermont.

Re: DPNow Salon Competition No.129 - "THE FOREST"

I think it is some kind of Ford? I still don't know what it was there for as it was right in the middle of the forestbut the balloons were to celebrate a 40th birthday.

I found it quite surreal!

It was spring time in this shot, too but it was in a dark corner of the wood.
