Another image shot on my recent hike into Meadowdale County Park. It was a day of what Seattlites refer to as "sun-breaks." We don't have partly cloudy weather here, we have cloudy weather with periodic moments of sunlight during which people work on their tans, five minutes at a time. Such days are perfect for retreating into a local woodland park with my camera in order to catch the sun breaking through the canopy of leaves in interesting ways. I always look forward to your feedback.

Canon EOS 5D Mk2; 1/10 @ f/16; 160mm; ISO 400; 70-200mm f/2.8L; tripod; cable release.

We don't see eye-to-eye on the composition with this one, but on the lighting, Excellent.
