Artist's Comments

"A foreigner from fielded lands
With prairie thoughts of desert sands
Who'd never seen a wood of oak,
He came to visit forest folk.
And in surprise he only sees
The mighty oaks and cypress knees,
Begged, "Someone will you help me please?
I cannot see the forest for the trees."

So I, a common forest folk,
Rustled in the leaves and spoke,
"Don't look into the wooden faces
Searching for the forest places;
Wander with the scented breeze,
Past mighty oaks and cypress knees,
Forget the timber your eye sees;
Our forest is the space between the trees." - Thomas James Allen

Loverly, nice backdrop with the light pooring between the trees. He seems so much out of place but thats exactly what a "foreigner" is. Really great capture.

This photo is amazing. That make me realize i lack a lot of english vocabulary to say how i like this photo.
I'll try anyway : I love how the sunrays came out of the tree, and how this man seems to be lost in those strange woods.

Great symbolic image. Love the technique, cant tell if it's a manipulation or a straight photo!

This is a great photo. The light, the figure, the scnene, the framing, amazing. It definitely illustrates the quote very well.
