Your love for trees is quite evident, Ben. This is very nicely done. I would like to see a wee bit more of the bridge as it looks cut off on the bottom. The color of the various leaves is spot-on, as is your processing. Well done, sir!

Very lush and peaceful. Well exposed and nice detail. I agree with Preston that I would like to see more room under the bridge.

Beautiful Scene, Ben. The center Willow? tree is a nice lime green framed in by the two trees on the edges of the frame that are darker and richer in color. I very much like that you can only really see one tree trunk amongst all of that foliage which speaks about the volume of leaves these trees are carrying. This nicely framed and I definitely see that center willow tree as the main subject but I too wish there was just a little more of the bridge so it didn’t feel cut off. Otherwise, this is another fine image that has your name all over it. Love your haiku.

@Preston_Birdwell , @David_Haynes , @Chris_Baird , Thank you so much for your comments, suggestions and thoughts. I had my doubts too about the bridge. To me this looks the best. Because under that bridge is only more water reed that didn’t look nice. Ben

Hi Ben,
This woodland scene perfectly captures your usual flair for showcasing the wonderful lush greens of springtime. The tree in the center is perfectly placed and is the star of the show for me. I too was going to suggest a little more under the bridge, but after reading your comment I understand your crop choice much better. Beautifully done and I love your haiku as well.

Thank you,Ed. This one said the most for me .
