Hey Gary,
Ideally......I wouldn't want those branches coming in from the left of the frame..........but the more I lokked at it...............the more they didn't bother me (although it would be quite the easy digital clean up if you so choose)............sweet tobacco color .........and I may lighten the FG a hair..........but the scale of the trees with the hint of sun work very nicely here.

Hi I'm stunned by this, really lovely,kind of light. Yes, I understand Roman: the tree on left cut..it doesn't bother too much.

Gary this is an extremely beautiful image! I would try to lighten the scene a bit to give more contrast between the trees and the great morning colors...especially in the central portion of the frame they blend together a lot. Lovely image of what looks like a fun area to explore.

Gary,

I like the image for the reasons mentioned above. However for it to work for me, I would want to have the trees in sharp focus. At f/5.6 and the sun sharp, that was not possible. A tripod and small aperture was needed here. The mood is great and whether having the FG sharp changes that is up to you of course. As always, just my opinion.
