better left unsaid

Once again, the first thing I shot when I got to the beach was drift­wood. This piece was beau­ti­fully grey and almost glow­ing even though it was a cloudy day.

As usual with drift­wood I like to get in nice and close to get a unique view of some­thing most peo­ple never give a sec­ond thought to. I really like how most of the frame is filled with the high-key, light wood, with a dark root com­ing down from the top, join­ing the lighter root at the bottom.
