Haha! I got scared reading the title of this one. Several years ago I almost lost my right hand on a family vacation to Myrtle Beach, South Carolina. But, that's a story for another time!
I really enjoyed your deep dive into the composition of these forests and your photos of the trees let them stand out as clear subjects in their surroundings. Great work!
Ouch, I look forward to that story one day Erik. It can be hard separating a tree from the forest, especially without a lot of fog. I have an approach to making these portraits (combining composition in the field and post-processing) but I am always learning and finding better ways.

Those lovely trees could be the models for Tolkein's Ents.
Maybe they were! (I don't know, but it's a nice thought Ella.)
Beautiful trees! And yes, I understand why you love living there.
Thank you Susanne, they are amazing trees. Compared with eucalypts, they bring a sense of peace and timelessness.
Lovely images!
Thank you Shital, it was a pleasure to go out and make them.
