My photographs aim at being true, not at being beautiful because, [i]what is true[/i] is most often beautiful.

I am really starting to like these alot. This one especially... the obvious focal point surrounded by great patches of texture and energy.

IMO it does more than the triptych.

I'm a slightly bigger fan of the triptych - the artificial separation of the image imposed order on the chaos and the interplay between the compartmentalization and the wildness of the scene was fun to see.

Here it seems to be just about the chaos - save for the order imposed by the beaver. It's interesting how a different mood comes across in this one. I still enjoy the disorder in the branches and the wet, saturated colors.

I see a lot of chaos. I would like to see the triptych as this doesn't work for me.

I definitely like the three frame version you showed earlier much better.

I have to agree with Richard. This does not do much for me.

Mark,

I like what you were trying to accomplish with the light and dark. It seems a bit impersonal to me though, as if you just walked up and snapped a picture. Pointed the camera down and quite a bit of lean. I think if you dropped down a bit and leveled the camera it would have been more intimate. I also like the triptych for this type of image. To me it has three natural zones.
