Thanks again everyone. Mary Anne, good observation, as this is indeed an ultrawide angle. The perspective distortion made the tree trunks look groovier than normal. The settings were 10mm, 1/50s, F18, ISO100. The only challenge was to find a higher viewpoint. I ended up putting the camera a tripod, held up the foot of the tripod with my right arm, and took the shot with my left arm using a shutter release cable. So the camera was about 5ft above my head. It was a bit difficult to compose, as I couldn't see through the viewfinder, but I managed to get one I liked after about 15-20 tries.

This is beautiful Dylan. Wonderful composition, textures and the tones are really nice too. CJ

Wonderful image, Dylan. Very moody. Could you tell us something about the settings? Am I correct in assuming that you used a very wide angle lens?

Thanks Sharon. I changed the tone of the cloud to match that of the foreground. The rest of the image really does look like that 9 months each year at Tofino, Canada. It's ironic how the original cloud looks more unatural (too much like B&W) than the photoshoped cloud :-)

Beautiful! Is this full color or have you toned it down? Either way, it's wonderful! ~Sharon

Hmm, actually I was thinking about the dead trees, which are the main subject for this picture. Not sure if the the trees gotta be alive or not.

Very nice, moody, and....interestingly, you got away in the Tree Challenge with only the barest spot of green....lol

Best Wishes, Traveller
