Where would you rather be? Sitting in an office or on this boardwalk exploring the coastal rain forests of Olympic National Park? There’s nothing wrong with having a desk job…the trick is to find a way to take “the road less traveled”before it is too late.
How was this photograph created?
This photograph highlights the use of a human element in composition. Many nature competitions adhere to strict rules that no “hand of man”should be visible in the photograph… but sometime a man-made element provides a bit of impact. Without the board walk,would the image be as effective?

Q and A:Do you prefer HDR or GND Filters?
I agree with including the human element,it does make a difference and sometime makes the shot stand out. In this case I think it is more to do with the composition ,and the boardwalk kind of leads u into to the shot !
The leading lines are pretty important in this photo,Sathya…you’re right about that.:)
Beautiful image. I get lost wandering on this path somewhere in the greenery. Not a scary,but a peaceful feeling.:)
For someone who loves green,you would love the Olympic Rain forest.
