Very lush Ian. You did well to exclude all white light from filtering through the foliage.

The large version looks a bit soft, but that is only a technical detail. On the composition side this is really beautiful, all the greens and trees and branches make for a very dreamy photo. Very well seen! Looks like a potentially nasty mosquitoe hell, though, haha.

Nice comp and a vibrant green that contrasts well against the dark tree branches. Agree with the prior comment on the softness in the large version. Overall, a solid shot!

Ian, very nice mood to this image. Love the two white flowers lower right. The selective blur gives this a painterly look.

Very nice greens, well balanced composition with the tree that brings contrast and forces the eyes to look around. I don't know if a bit more sharpness would go with the mood of scene, something to try. Nice work!

Beautiful dreamy image, Ian. It has a nice painterly look, too. Great mood to it. The blur looks a bit heavy to my eye, but that is a personal preference.

Ian, I like the soft light you captured here and think this comp works very nice. This has such a nice mood!

Ian, I appreciate your composition a lot, there is an interesting complexity as wellas a nice balance to my eye. Maybe the image could use a bit more sharpening I think, but this is only a minor matter to me.

Dig this one. Interesting take on the processing but works well, at least at this size. Nice :)
