This is lovely John. I like the way the rays of sunlight are seen through the trees and the way the trees are silhouetted too. Lovely work here. Well done!

What a most emotionally charged photo! It can bring about all sorts of moods in my mind and heart, especially with the quotes you have here. I love Mark Twains words. There is a book you ought to read..maybe you have..it's called "The Diary of Adam and Eve" It's fairly new and wonderfully written by Mark Twain.
I sure like the shadows in front of the trees brought about by your having the Sun behind them. Nicely done John..Verena

Such wonderful use of the light to create this lovely image with great contrast of sunshine and shadow. I like the Yogi Berra quote the best.

Back to your great use of light and shadows Shads. Such a great scene and I believe it is the rays of sunshine beyond the trees that really shows hope that makes this one special. Excellent.

I always liked this Yogi quote: "Thanks, you don't look so hot yourself." -- After being told he looked cool.

Firstly, I love the quotes. They fit the image so well. I couldn't help but laugh at the Mark Twain quote, the first thing in my mind...babies! Back to the photo... I like the way the light highlights the various shades of green. The rays of light, the road/path along with your quotes convey hope in the journey to me.

Those rays of sun are so inviting. The horizontal line presented by the road compliments the vertical lines made by the rays. Good job John. I like this one a lot.
