It had to be difficult to wrangle the dynamic range of this scene but you managed it perfectly. The shadows are dark but there’s enough detail to hold attention and the highlights are bright but not blown. I like how the two foreground trees essentially frame the lighted grasses. This is a lovely image and I’ve got no critique to offer.

Instantly recognizable as one of yours. Really excellent shot (and haiku). A spotlight on nature’s stage.

Hi Ben,
I love how you take an ordinary scene and turn it into something extraordinary. The light is just flat out gorgeous and lures the viewer perfectly in this woodland image. I also am enjoying the trees along the right and left edges of the frame and the way they seem to frame everything. Just curious; are the white flowers wild garlic? No suggestions from me as this is perfection.

Yes, instantly recognizeable!
What an enchanting and inviting scene -not the tiniest nit from me.
Just exquisite!
