Abstact forest in any season

Before the entrance to New Germany State Park is a beautiful stand of pine trees. I often visit this location when I am out and about in Western Maryland. I find that the graphic shape of the slender vertical trunks provides a great opportunity for abstract images in any season. These 2 images were both made with a multiple exposure technique. I hand held my camera fitted with a 70-200mm zoom and slightly panned upward over the course of 10 exposures. As you can see this creates a beautiful impressionistic image.

The first image was made this past fall and the latter last week in the dead of winter. I like both and I feel that they have a completely different feel due to the light and the season. What do think?
