The Roots of Ardor
This image was submitted as an entry to a photo contest entitled "Wooden." While it only placed #10 out of #251 entries, I'm still quite proud of it. The actual subject of the photo is so subtle that it is often overshadowed by the more obvious image elements. If you think you've got it, feel free to add your comments!
