Nice Joseph, I like the overall mood, the green in the FG, and as you said, the leading lines. Well done.

I enjoy the perspective and the atmospheric effect of the fog. Rhodies would have been nice, but this is quite effective without them.

Nice, Joseph. I like the perspective a lot.

There are two minor things I noticed: There's a halo on the left edge of the foreground Redwood. Second, there's a light blue spot at the top of the same tree at the top edge of the frame.

The color and tones look fine.

I have always loved the biological name for these trees: Sequoiadendron Sempervirens. I've been enjoying your Redwood forest images.

I might bring down the highlights at the top just a tad, but well done and a nice perspective.

The lines are great, as is the atmosphere. I could see bringing down the highlights a little in the ULC and just a little along the top. I've really enjoyed these.

Thank you all for your feedback as always. I'm glad everyone has been enjoying them.

Preston, thanks for pointing those two issues out. Dan and Jared, I already reduced the highlights, but I agree that a further reduction would be beneficial. I'll fix and repost when I have the time.

I love the mood, composition with the perspective including the fog in the BG. Bravo!

Here's a repost addressing Preston's observations and also with the top center highlights reduced as Dan and Jared suggested.

I really enjoy misty tree scapes and this is very nice exploiting the tilt in a cathedral like manner. I actually think hat pink rhody flowers would make this less harmonious.

This looks great, Joe. Neat lines from the trees and fine atmospherics from the fog. Well seen. Interestingly, I like the brightness of the fog and the trees in the original the best.

Prefer the first one which has a more airy feel to it. I like this very much.

I'll vote for the first too Joe; the fog looks more natural to me. Mystic.

Thanks for the feedback guys. I too like the look of the fog in the first version myself.

Congrats on the WP Joseph

I love the mood the fog gives this one, and the converging lines are great. Makes me wonder just how tall those trees really are.
