The golden path

Beautiful image, almost like a painting :)

Beautiful work Gigi

This is magical….what light!

This is stunning, love the magical mood set by the light and colour.

Ahhhh, Gigi, I always anticipate nothing less than this sort of image from you, and once again you have delivered great vision, technique, skill and quality.

Great use of colours. Depth of field is nice – I love the out-of -focus tree at the front right. Great exposure between dark and very bright areas.

Too beautiful for words so I ” favourite” this instead.

great mystic feel…!

lovely shot….

This is so lovely, I want to walk right in.

In my humble opinion, this is absolutely superb in everway. Composition, tones and most of all the capture of the serene atmosphere. You truly feel your scene.
Your humble observer.

Fantastic shot ! Great lighting and colors !

Oh how beautiful…this is a dream! It’s going right into my favs!

Thanks Anette ,HeleneDaffodil and Cherrie

Interesting creation and words. Personally I do not want to wait for a door at the end of my life. This is what I believe the creative inspirations group is about. ie; Working out what we desire for life in our hearts and taking the necessary steps to make it happen.I think our conditioning from religion to school to parents and media has made us believe we need to struggle for any joy. Then that the joy will be taken away anyway.I truly believe that if we connected to our own hearts that we would be directed to peace and joy right now without all the struggle and it would be eternal.

Wonderfull work! So mystic fog in forest… love it!

GORGEOUS IMAGE

Thanks Vasilii and Kevin

Stunning.

Perfect!

micmac….. this is really something beautiful!

excellent – what a brilliant glow.

This is wonderful, especially with your words giving us a more emotive image.

So beautiful, and yes, to quietly walk through, i agreaa, and those moments so give that peace as does your beautiful piece of art!

Enchanting image… gorgeous.

This is such a peaceful photo. Love it.

Great dof and lighting…Brillant

beautiful indeed perfect light

G’day Micmac,

I find this to be a beautifully warm, soft amd inviting scene and your narrative to be most appropriate.
Wonderfully photographed with a great composition and rich forest hues and contrasts, this fine photograph should go far in any competition.
Great work!

Such magical and ethereal beauty, wonderful writing to go with it … love this!

great work well done micmac

Truely magical image!!!! Fantastic Work!

Gorgeous.

Thanks for this.

The fact that I can appreciate the grand concept and visualize the supposed Golden Gate tells me I am already there in mind and spirit.

There does come a time when we suddenly start noticing the heavy equipment and luggage that has been bearing down on our backs and our head…... not allowing us to look too far…. not allowing us to touch the face of calm.

You made that experience of calm possible through this.

Thanks

That’s the reason I’m less with people and more walking in the woods with my dog,thanks for that beautiful comment.

Great work, love the mood and framing in this image, awesome perspective! Great work!

I feel like I am only echoing the feelings of so many others who’ve already posted here… but this image is incredible. One simply looks at it and feels “transported” away from all those things you described —(even if I hadn’t read your description, the image accomplishes just that!)

I am speechless! Love the treatment and the color.

Excellent shot micmac. Well done.

What a colours! aptly titled.

A stunning magical scene, like a painting. Wonderful lighting and colour.
