bautiful, somehow the black-and-white just really works for it, not many people can pull that off.

wow! it does look even better in B&W. it has this feel to it that pulls you in more. and I have tried to remember where in AL people referred to as the main place for Artisan Wells and you thankfully informed me. It pays to go read

This makes an interesting image to stare at, to study the various patterns of line, and their details and differences.
Nicely conveyed in b&w, Randy!

awesome. i'm trying to grow one in my backyard (and it's taken over the neighbors' yards as well). mine aren't that thick, but i love them...except for the blackbirds in the spring and the mosquitoes in the summer.
lovely shot and perspective.

You have to take the good with the bad, These are called giant Bamboo and grow up to 60 ft...the smaller bamboo seems to spread more

great shot! no one realizes that there is bamboo in alabama, georgia, north carolina..... I've always wondered how it got there, since it is far between and unusual. but when you come upon such a beautiful thicket or stand (?) of bamboo, it really is spectacular.

this was planted over 100 years ago by a guy that want his land to be tropical so the story goes

very cool. there's a big stand of it--oh now I remember, it's called a "cane break"--near where my ancestors are from in western NC, and it was around in the 1770s according to family history. so I always wondered if it grew naturally since that seems very early to have been planted.

I think the american bamboo is not the same....this bamboo grows up to 65 feet tall and can grow four feet with in 24 hours

That`s a cool looking location Randy
Personally I would darken the shadows (mostly the immediate ground) a tad,make those white shoots at the front stand out even more

Beautiful! I like how you handled this photo and I think the choice of desaturation works beautifully. Excellent job!

Thank you, I was worried at first to take the color out

I think the desaturation allows the eye to really appreciate the textures of the bamboo and path. Very nice!
