Make a few images, well.

Another very nice forest intimate, Vance. I love the patch of moss and the detail throughout. I have a couple of suggestions concerning the top tree. I think I would crop a little off the top, to just where the diagonal limb contacts the trunk. The space between the branch and the top of the frame and the bright limb also at the top would all go away. Not a big deal and really only an issue in the large. I love the way you see these images.

Very nice image, Vance, with the stark gray trees beautifully set against the nice moss and foliage. Beautifully processed and the detail is again outstanding. Like Gary, I an inclined to tweak the comp at the top, but I really can't settle on what, if anything, I would do differently. I feel like that the top tree trunk needs more or less, or maybe even cropped out altogether, but I would not want to lose anything off the other two trees, including any of the curving branch at the top of the closest tree, so I think my inclination is not to crop it at all.

This is another nice forest image. I was also thinking of the same crop as Gary, plus cropping the bottom to the bottom of the almost round lump of the bright green mossy stuff. It feels too stretched to me as is.

Thank you for your comments and suggestions. Attached is a repost incorporating the suggestions. Cloned out the branch on the tree in the upper left as Gary and Scott suggested as a crop would have eliminated a neat curled branch on the center tree. Also cropped this a bit tighter as per Harley's suggestion, eliminating some of the extraneous foliage and giving the moss more prominence.
Would appreciate any further feedback. Thanks.

Gorgeous color palette!! Original and repost work equally well for me - this is exactly the type of detail that never bothers me!!
