Ray of Light

This photo was taken in the cloud forest of Ecuador near Mindo. There was dappled light shining through the canopy above. I wanted to show this spotty lighting in the photo. I tried to do it by showing the bright leaves against the black background. Hope it works! I'd love feedback! Thanks!

Cam: Welcome to the finest Flora gallery on the planet and thanks for a fine first post here. I agree with you about the lighting and very much enjoy shooting in similar circumstances. I also like your DOF and plane of focus. Great to have you aboard and looking forward to more.>=))>

Nice lines in this shot Cam. I also like the contrast between the green and black areas.
