Well, here is my 1.86 cents worth ...

Not sure of your artistic aim here, aside from the apparent selective colouring you employed. Although the path is now highlighted more to some extent ... perhaps, and as a suggestion ... simply a B & W version might have more impact?

/\ Not entirely sure, to tell the truth. I do like the lighting you captured and having placed 'us' in the setting/scene.

Being harsh here ... might be a tad too busy overall?

Flip flopping once more ... the dominant tree branches might be enough to pull it off, though.


See? Told you ... /\ not worth two whole cents.

The exchange rate is discounted by my current state of mind and being. That of, being severely under-caffeinated.

Well, that is my story and I am sticking with it. :oP


That nonsense of mine aside, I do get your composition here ... making use of the dominant branches, fallen or otherwise ... as framing elements. On that note, composed ... well, taking into consideration all other elements within frame. :o)

The element I like the most about this pic are the tangled vines...which are like our forests in Virginia...and give the entire scene a magical touch. If that is a stream beneath the fallen tree, then I think it should be more "watery" (maybe bring out the deep areas with smoothing); if it is a path, then the blue-ish tone has me confused (obviously). I have a forest pic that I have always wanted to play with (can't right now, am in a hospital with a broken ankle and am using my laptop); I hope you don't mind if I use some of your ideas when I can get home and get to my pic on my desktop computer.

The picture looks interesting as well as the idea.
I don't know whether using some kind of filter you can create an improvement. I do not have in mind anything for the moment.
Ed.

A nice image but in my honest opinion not your best. Just trying to give my honest comment in a nice way. I like the way it looks in the smaller size opposed to the larger.
