On an early morning cycling-tour, I came across this spot that intrigued me by its light and color.
(If this is a composite, etc. please be honest with your techniques to help others learn)
This is a great arrangement of trees you’ve found, I like the texture of the crossing branches on ground mixed with the three main trees. The only nit I have is the top center seems a little bright and I find my eye going straight to that spot. I might just take down the highlights in that area slightly.
Ben,
Just love the back lighting of the leaves and the sense of glow they are providing.
Tough call, but I’m a bit unsure of the very dark trunks - and then relative to the lightness of the fallen trunks at the bottom. There seems to be a disconnect there, IMHO.
This would be a scene where I would be all over getting close and personal with some of the leaves and branches - but it looks like the water in the background has quite a bit of stuff floating and the water probably not moving much.
Looks like great potential at this location. This one’s just not coming together as cleanly as most of your images do. Still, I must say you handled the backlit greens quite nicely.

@Lon_Overacker. Thank you again,Lon. I did sent in this image to find comments like yours. Because I was not very sure about it. So, every comment helps !
In the raw image I see the same difference in light and dark of the trunks. The reason is that the trunks on the bottom have lost there bark.
