I like the contrast in colors. The trees offer a very nice border on the left and the way the trees lean into the center, they channel our eyes to the back of the shot. All work very well together and underline the over-all quality of your picture.

Most things I have seen out on a limb were hanging by their tail. JJ Great post Nigel. You caught the gold in the grasses and the green of the trees perfectly. Now where's that stag and his appendage (lol).
very beautiful Nigel! ...not only the composition but mostly because the colours are strong and very natural and not oversaturated! ...and you captured the sky equally as well as the land - simple and beautiful!

now why would anyone get bored of a lovely shot like this! i particularly like the grasses, and you did well to get the exposure so nice. the colours are wonderful!! you can always go back for more if you ran out of shots!! heheheh
Great shot ,Nigel. I really like the trees. I think it's because it reminds me of being a kid of 8 or 9 again. We had woods near by and used to go and play all the time (kids could play out by themselves back in the early 60's). Your picture captures that feeling perfectly. That is a wood you immediately want to go and play in. (We can start with Hide and Seek. You can be It!)
I could hardly get tired of shots like this, Nigel! Nor sure of the framing on this shot, but I love the image. That one tree reaching forward to get out of the shadow of stonger trees. Really fine landscape.
Looks great, Nigel. I don't get tired of good shots, and that's all I've seen so far in your series. I hope you have at least one or two more? Great title too!

And yet again, another keeper. You are a great discovery. I see you have been a member since 05 and I can't understand why I have not discovered your beautiful gallery long before this.

Beautiful. We don't have woods like these in the high desert of the western US. Even the Sierra Nevadas don't have these kind of forests. It's great to be taken to other parts of the world here on Caedes. Thanks Nigel.
