Love the way you have brought out the green in the moss - gives the image an unworldly or supernatural feel

Excellent shot that evokes all sorts of 'dark forest' vibes. If you return about May or June you might find that moss well populated with teeny tiny Mycena toadstools.

Really like this shot...it evokes imagery from Lord Of The Rings and other similar offerings.

Beautiful!
Please share what modifications were done, if any, to make the green stand out, and the rest remain 'dark'
Thanks!

Very simple, just slightly increase green and yellow saturation in Photoshop.
