Petrified Wood Fragment and Yellow Wildflowers (Petrified Forest National Par)
A view looking to the southeast and slightly downward to a fragment of petrified wood while hiking to the Onyx Bridge. What drew me into this image was the wildflowers that were right next to this fragment. To compose this image, I moved about to minimize any shadow I might cast while balancing the image itself with the wildflowers and petrified wood fragment. There was also a contrast in my mind between that which had been alive hundreds of millions of years ago but was now a fragment of petrified wood with a plant that was alive at the present time.
