For my tastes you nailed the comp and exposure. Somehow it really “involves” me as I view it. By that I mean that I feel as though it pulling me into the setting and making me want to walk and explore. I can’t find better words, but it’s rare for a photo to do that so well.

Complex woodland scenes like this are always difficult to compose, but I think you succeeded. The light here is great- gentle, warm, inviting. In technical terms I see no need for improvement. The exposure is fine, the colors are good, the highlights and shadows are good, etc. The contrast appears subdued, but it matches the overall scene. Overall I’m reminded of fine oil paintings displayed in museums. Nice, nice work!

Ben,

Complicated and somewhat busy on the one hand… yet, simple, elegant and inviting on the other. I leave with the impression of the latter. Delightful, airy, peaceful. Well seen and captured.
