I like the picture, very creative and full of style, it’s just a shame there’s so much image noise and sharpening. what settings where you using? there’s also some quite harsh fringing around the edge of the main tree trunk. I think that might be due to the compression. The picture itself is wonderful!

Enchanting it is. This is another place where the faerie folk must live :)

Ok… all things considered this picture is great.

What a magical and enchanting image! Stunning work!

very beautiful! wonderful light

Nice Tonal range.. great shot!

very good photo.

It was here that I saw her,
Among the mist and ferns of an early dawn,
She stood silent, not even a stir,
Blending int the background like she belonged.

Many times I’ve come to find,
But never again I’ve seen her,
It’s like I’ve gone blind,
Just the sun now shines where I remember,
As my heart knows she’ll return in time.

Love the lighting, the way the sun enhances the shadows and the brilliant shades of green.

Really beautiful photography!!!!

World class capture…Truly amazing.

I think that I shall never see
A poem lovely as a tree.
A tree whose hungry mouth is prest
Against the earth’s sweet flowing breast;
A tree that looks at God all day
And lifts her leafy arms to pray;
A tree that may in Summer wear
A nest of robins in her hair;
Upon whose bosom snow has lain;
Who intimately lives with rain.
Poems are made by fools like me,
But only God can make a tree.
~Joyce Kilmer, “Trees,” 1914
