This is a pretty scene, but you're much better than this now, Ben! What a difference a year makes!

Beautiful trees however I think there is not enough definition to make them stand out. The ground luminance is too close to the luminance of the foliage.

edit: to correct the fact that I think faster than I type

the deep depth of field and interplay between so many areas of shadow and light make this rather busy, with no real sense of subject for me.

The leaves look over sharpened and this image has potential, but lacks a strong focal point for giving it an added degree of interest

For some reason the image overwhelmed my senses...left me confused.

A little too dark for me, just my opinion though.

Ah - I bet this image suffered from getting squashed into a 640 pix format. I can imagine it huge on the wall of a bank. The dark and light play here is wonderful, especially where the small bright dots of leaves meet the more linear stripes of shadow on the ground. The darker sweeping lines of the branches look lovely in the impressionistic scatter of light. There is one spot in the distance where my eyes tell me to enter and feel the shade, a space on the right where the heat of the day contrasts.

Although there is a lot going on here, I do like the way you processed this image and the depth of the detail in the trees. Will definately get a wide range of votes. Good Luck. 6.
