I like the feeling of warmth the image generates, Nice colours and composition.

I wonder though just how much all of that post processing acheived. I like the idea of HDR and similar effects but in reality - can not convince myself that spending hours post processing is a good idea when I could be out there finding more things to photograph and trying to improve my limited skills behind the camera
No matter how many lenses I have owned - I have always needed just one more

Forest shots are so hard to render effectively. This one works very nicely. I drove through Bovey Tracey last Saturday!
Best wishes,

Andrew

Great colours and good choice of viewpoint to pick out all those repeating lines.

I love this shot. It has nice colours and contrast. I like especially the branches of the trees, they look like some strange black net. Great shot Phil.
