Superb advance in your explorations, Jim. The 21mm focal length ia an apt choice!
Great colors!
1. Try holding your camera in portrait mode and taking 3 overlapping shots lower down to be able to include more of the trees an sky.
2. With camera in landscape position, go to 90degrees from center of log and step back until you can frame the entire beautiful piece!
These two new pictures will look fabulous in both color and B&W.
This is one of the best subjects you have discovered besides the snow-capped mountains, your child and the grain silo!
