Gear used:	Olympus E-500 + Zuiko 14-45mm F3.5-5.6 lens @ 28mm
Aperture used:	f8

Subject information:	For this TOPE I had my shot done really early... ...or so I thought! I had made a set of (technically) very complex extreme close-ups, using the E-500 + OM Auto Bellows + Zuiko 50/3.5 Macro + T28 twin flash + ND flash filters. These pictures kept me uptied for quite a while in order to get the proper lighting and sharpness on the subject. However... when I went to Seattle, I was posed with a "lovely problem": a far more interesting subject! So, having taken some pictures of these trees-growing-on-tree-stumps, caused me in the end to swap over my initial entry, even though I then officially violated the timelines a bit... I hope you guys can forgive me for this, at the advantage of having a picture with a far more interesting subject in the gallery. :)
Technical information:	Not much special in this shot, just underexposed very slightly for a more dramatic and darkish effect.
Digital trickery:	This picture is as it was shot, and other than resizing to the 800 pixels format, absolutely no edits have been made.

Impressive subject. I see why you were attracted by it. I think you would edit a little for contrast and sharpness, but is a matter of personal choice anyway :)

Spooky !! Those seemingly pendant roots which had penetrated under a layer of mosses, now look like haunted stick figures, in the half-light.
