The Gateway

Gallery: LandscapePosted January 17, 2010202 views14 comments

This is one from this last fall. I like the way the trees seem to be forming a fence with the opening inviting you to walk through into the forest.

Comments and critiques always welcome, and thanks for looking,

Morris

A beautiful composition, Morris. I like the contrast of the dark evergreen in the FG against the yellows. Lovely scene!

I like the colors, tones, and the composition of this image Morris. Have you got a B & W version? Just wondering.

Looks like a fairy tale Morris, makes me want to go in, softly and carefully.

Thanks to all who have commented so far. Your input is priceless to me.
Steve, I don't have one as yet, but your question has piqued my curiosity as to how that would look, so thank you!

Beautiful Morris, really a beautiful image. Love the placement of the trees and the lovely light. Really does seem to beckon the viewer into the forest. Fantastic.

An absolutely delightful picture. The intimate composition really shows off the beauty of this forest location. The colors are very attractive too.
