Mel Brackstone, 10 months ago

Thanks so much everyone, the photo tour I was on found all these great places, and showed us how to get the best from each site. This one involved waiting for the sun to hit the trees, and what a magic scene it was once that happened.

terrifoster, 10 months ago

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.
Terri
