I just noticed your comment, Thank you! I didn't have this in my portfolio for some time and rediscovered it while going through some of my old stuff. It has become one of my favorite shots so far. Thanks again!

Thanks! Panorama Factory did all the work stitching but I was so happy with the exposure and the great light and clouds up there.

Thank you very much for you compliment. Unfortunately, I don't have the rest of the tree but I thought about faking the top of it by cloning in some sky. Thanks again!

Hi Paul. My moss looks a lot like yours. The difference is I cropped it tightly. In fact, so tightly that the image is too small to offer as a print (it got rejected). It looks great as a smally 4 x 5 print but really bad any larger. Moss facinates me since I came from a very arid climate - Utah - where this scene would never be found.
