Very full of mood...I will pull up a stump and watch it unfold. Beautiful manipulation Joe.

Thanks D.I've had this for a while.I was burning a disc from the archives to show some of my photography and found this laying there feeling lonely.

I think this shot is ment to be viewed full. I like the way you are playing with vibrant colors on you images. Here the color is completely devided by black and its awesome. Nice work.

Thanks P.I like to play with the colors but only if they seem real in a Fantasy sort of way if you take my meaning.Something the imagination longs for and wishes was real.

"Something the imagination longs for and wishes was real."

Well, you have certainly captured that statement to a T. Beautiful manipulation. HIgh marks from the booth. *bow*
:o)

Lovely image, nice warm colours, a painting-like texture and great mood... glad you decided to post this.....

I love the colours here and the feel of the forests darkness, but I have to admit I feel it is a bit too manipulated...I like a bit more reality I guess...but you still have me with the great colours and feel of the whole thing....

Wow Joe...Brilliant, you have done a good job with this ...more like the Land Of 'Fire'!
it's not warm looking..it's 'HOT'.............Bob

Beautiful colors. What filter do you use to give your pictures such a soft, dreamy look?

THX my friend.

Wow Joe, I wish this place were real and I was there right now, sitting around with a group of our friends, watching this beauty all around us! :)....This is great work. You are becoming the master of fantasy in the forest my friend. I like the golden yellow with the red and the deep fuschia colors. Your palette is getting really good! I am going to use this on my desktop for a few days if you don't mind :~)...thanks for the post!
Thanks also for visiting ~is it spring~ Even though our winter has been mild, this is my Hope bouquet..hope that Spring isn't too far away. This week is cold and you know how I like the warm. Your continued support and encouragement keep me hanging around here and trying different angles and focuses and shots......you are deeply appreciated amigo! Merci:~)

Thanks Mimi.I wish I could go there too.With the grey skies of Winter 2006 upon us it would be a pleasant diversion.
