The Enchanted Forest Dan,
I love it...:Dthis looks like a painting...I can feel the rich silky colors...well composed and executed...good show...:cool:
I think it is beautifully composed and I love the treatment on it. I do feel the sunny feel is a bit overdone - it feels a little "heavy" in the yellower areas of the image. It's very nice as presented but I think a small tweak to the yellow to lighten it up a bit might make it feel even more translucent in its lighting.
