Interesting bark with that moss - well presented too.

Nice light and composition, Ronald. You might consider burning down the bright trunk in background. The color looks good to me.

I always found the birches hard to photograph when I lived in the NW. This works quite nicely. The green provides a nice contrasting background.

Really beautiful light and comp, Ronald. The large version has some wonderful details and textures to savor. Excellent image.

Lovely look here, Ronald. The two smaller trunks add some nice, subtle framing while the main 3 grab most of the attention. The bright greens in the background create a fine sense of depth as well as color contrast.

Very nice comp and colors in this Ronald and nice depth to the scene also. A very pleasant forest scene. Nicely done.
