Very nice eye - I like your use of leading lines and the lush greens make the brown pop

The colour in this is very nice Danny, I like the vibrancy of the leaves. Nice shadow detail too.

Nice. I like the way the trunk and the leaves standout against the darker background. Initially, I think, the leaves are assumed to belong to the trunk. At least they were for me. It's only in realizing that the fallen trunk represents a dead tree that the reality of the juxtaposed elements become clear.

Those leaves are poppin'! I also like the color of the downed tree.

Beautiful variety of greens and the leaves are real standouts. I like the way the trunk separates the green leaves from the mossy bg. This is very nice

Very nice Danny. I think your comp works very well and it is also very interesting. The light, color and detail are wonderful! Nice work on this!

Danny,

Excellent! I love how the light separates the leaves from the far background. Enough detail back there to define the scene, but not detract from the lovely greens up front. A somewhat unique scene as well with the fall log and water below too. This works quite nicely for me.

The lighting really makes what could be rather mundane something rather lovely. Well seen.

A plain composition, Danny, that works impressively for me. I especially appreciate the brown bark of the log complemented by the bright greens of the delicate foliage. The gentle flow of the creek adds a lot to me.
