While I was home over break I noticed that a lot of the people in my town had firewood sitting out. I really liked how the stacked wood looked and found some photos online that were really neat.
This photo is full of logs. I really like the various sizes and shades of wood. It is almost mosaic like with all the logs. This photo is titled: Logs, UPM Blandin paper mill, Grand Rapids and was taken by Clint Austin.

Here is another photo of logs. This one looks more realistic to what people would have for fire wood. I found this photo at www.alakhnor.com/post-thumb/?p=21. It seems more realistic because it has a bunch of twigs and other natural findings embedded in the log stack. This one is even more interesting because of the chaotic way all the logs are arranged.

Here is a photo by Gordon Pritchard. This one focuses on the side view of the logs. I like this one because it shows a lot of the earth behind the logs and the contrast between the earth and logs.

In addition to stacks of logs I like this photo that highlights the beauty found inside a log. Once some cuts a log or a tree down it exposes the repetitious rings. These rings may mean how old the tree is, but I think this photo is an interesting earth art piece. The photo is by Arnold Paul, 2006.

I really like the idea that you have here with the use of logs in photos. The first picture by Clint Austin is the most interesting to me. I agree with you that the second picture is more chaotic and more realistic; however, I like the sharpness of the first. The size dynamics of the first photo is more distinct. The colors are also more clear. When I look at it I do not automatically see "logs"--there is something very artistic about it.
The first picture almost doesn't even look like logs. Pretty neat.
