This is real nice,Igor. Great color and textures. The light was perfect. You might consider cloning out the pine needles adjacent to the plant with the flowers. Nicely processed and well seen.

Oh, that's right spring is here - for some. Like the diagonal created by the log and the greens surrounding. Not much I would change - maybe try a cooler white balance for the shadows - the leaves and log look a bit warm on my monitor. Very minor. The moss is nice but edging in the frame might be more out of place considering the rest of the image? See if a crop does anything for you.

This needs to be viewed large. I would agree with on the pine needles. McCartney, nah, not for me. :) Photography, yeah. Love the brilliant green of spring in this one.

Really nice intimate landscape Igor, this was a great little find. The flowers are a good subject, but I like how you included the diagonal log to hold the composition together, it makes this image more special. I enjoy taking these kind of forest floor images after doing a little judicious "gardening" of things such as the pine needles, but in this case it would be relatively easy to remove them after the fact. This is carefully considered composition that works very well, nice job.

It's a beautiful groundscape, Igor. The little flower stars are the icing on the cake here.

Igor, The large version is wonderful and the detail in that log is super nice. The little white flowers are a fantastic touch. It works great for me as it is but just a bit cooler wb might be interesting to try as Harry mentioned. Even though it was summer it really does have that wonderful spring look / feel.

Nicely composed, Igor. There is a nice contrast between the decaying branches and fallen leaves and the flowering plants. While you noted this was a summer image it does fit the theme of spring returning. Nicely captured.
