very nicely done to hold the shadows and the highlights. certainly is a plush environment. i bet it smells wonderful. beautiful scenic shot.
Thanks J.K. Yes, it was very rich with earthy and plant smells, not so much pine scents though.

fantastic image and study of light, contrast and color!!!!
As happens some times, I tweak the dials on color saturation and contrast to get the image that my eye remembers when I walked there. I think the human eye is so much more than any camera because, like HDR processing, the eye can and does build scenes from multiple images inside our head. This is how I remember this walk.
