Silver Birches

New England
I love to explore texture, tone and form, and this image - simple as it is - has it all. At the tail end of fall when the profusion of foliage has been claimed by the forest floor, another kind of stark beauty comes to the winter landscape. I was drawn to the burnished elegance of these silver birches, their graphic silhouettes stripped bare. The entire forest was shadowed with a monotone, metallic cast and the unexpected splash of red berries adds another dimension to the shot.
