    Hi Mel – I really love this image. Trees are some of my favorite subjects and they are so obliging to have their picture taken. :)
    I love this image because it surrounds you and draws you in. The brilliant orange against a strong, blue sky and the perfect reflection of the trees in a glassy pond add to the perfection. Thanks again for sharing this image with us.
