Guy,
I have to say that the light along with the greens in this woodland scene are exquisite! Forests are obviously chaotic by nature, but you have managed to find a scene with some order. This reminds me of something @Ben_van_der_Sande would capture. My only suggestion; just my opinion of course; would be to crop off the small BG tree along the left side. Beautifully done!

Hi Ed, Thanks you so much for your kind words! Woodland is my favorite subject area indeed. The puzzle of finding beauty there is endlessly fascinating. I haven’t had a chance to spend time with Ben’s work, but I’m looking forward to it…
I can’t cut off the tree on the left! I love how it glides in, is lost behind the wave of leaves, only to reemerge on the other side with a fork before disappearing again in the next wave…

Guy, I really like the filtered light coming through all of the wonderful greens in this. I like the lighter areas behind that give this a sense of depth. Nice image.
