I so enjoy your forest scenes as I sit here in hot California. Your forests always look cool, even if they’re not. This one is well framed, with those reddish foreground trees giving a nice sense of depth.
Those red leaves do frame in the top nicely, and help guide the eye to the beautiful backdrop of green. I really enjoy the “hanging” effect that a lot of those branches have.
This does feel a bit busy though, and I wonder if a little more contrast would add a bit of depth and help the eye roam deeper into the image? Maybe not. Just for the fun of comparison, here’s a quick and dirty run with that idea:
It’s a bit hypocritical of me to suggest, since I use one less than I should, but I wonder if a polarizer could have reduced the leaf glare a little?
