A scene typical of a tract of wet woodland near where I live. Not sure about the inclusion of the tree trunk; maybe it disrupts the composition too much, maybe it adds to the sense of random growth ?

I like the slanted tree trunk in the FG. For me it gives a sense of scale to the image, and a better idea what the woodland is like. Also like the colors of this image. Thanks for sharing.

It makes me feel as if I am on the edge of the trail looking in. Tree adds perspective of place and scale. Good colour. Your weather is similar to mine but is it buggy (mosquitos, etc.)?

Lush green and lovely Ian, summer splendour. I ronically I find the diagonal slanting tree just a little imposing for this delicate scene. Perhaps it just grabs a little too much attention.

Lush and beautiful, Ian. I think I have to agree with Ian, about the leaning tree. I think the image can stand up without it just fine. I may not be the best qualified to judge a forest scene, but I sure enjoy looking at it.

I like the tree in the scene, without it it might become too monotonous I think. The blue in the sky looks a bit too dark to me though, ending up a bit in the HDR realm... A very enjoyable and intimate scene!

I do agree with Ian that the tree imposes too much but I like that it gives a brown counterpoint to all the green. An all green image is weaker imho.

It's a lovely scene, Ian. Has me looking for "Mr. Toad and friends". I really like the tree trunk because it contrast so well with all of the finely detailed greens and it hides the vanishing point of the bright green zig zag. The larger version allows for a wonderful exploration of the details.

I'm OK with the leaning tree as a counterpoint to the rest of the scene. I would like to see the white flowers a bit brighter though, they look too gray as presented. Wonderful woodland!
