    A scene I captured in a local forest back in 2010...only got round to processing it now.


    All comments welcome - this was a tricky one to blend right so that it looks natural but exhibits the same lush, tranquil feeling I experienced looking at it.
    (Brought up the shadows some, Jay! ).

    We are off to the Drakensberg mountains for a few days so excuse my inactivity on the forum while I capture some new landscape images!

    Nicely done Morkel , not always an easy scene to capture. Blending sure does make these scenes more of a challenge to capture :)

    Morkel - very different from your usual landscapes. I like the lushness. Nicely done.

    TFS,

    Hi Morkel, I like this a lot. You handled the scene very well with the sun coming in from behind the trees. Love the foreground fern.

    A different type of image for you Morkel - meaning the locale and/or subject.

    I think you did a good job handling the contrast extremes. An overcast sky or early/late light is always best for these types of scenes.
