Ian, this shot does an excellent job of showing off the bright yellow/greens of early spring. It’s nicely warm and inviting. ---

Ian, These greens of early spring make for a very peaceful inviting scene. I could also see this working as a vertical image with just those wonderful trees on the left. Not necessarily better just a different image. I love the subdued lighting here as it is perfect for showing the details in this woodland image. ---

Thank you @Ed_Lowe for the comments and the suggestion - I had not thought of that one but I think you are quite right. ---

Lovely, Ian. I really like the open feel of the spring forest with the yellowish greens of early spring massed underneath.
