The Kale Berg, sometimes Kalenberg, is a 46.5-metre-high hill in the Dutch province of Gelderland. The Kale Berg is part of the lateral moraine near Lochem, of which the Lochemse Berg forms the highest point. De Kale Berg is located southeast of this hill (Wikipedia).
My first attempts were not sharp enough to properly accentuate the effect of the roots, so after a few days I went back twice more to make another attempt with different settings.
To allow for larger prints as well, I ended up shooting about five photos'in portrait and merging them into a 12,101 x 6,051 (73M pixel) panorama shot.
The effect turned out to be strongest in black and white with sharp contrast. The extra sunlight on the left side gives a nicely balanced ratio between light and dark areas.
A nice composition for above the sofa in the living room, or at the headboard above the bed in the bedroom.
