Another local shot from what's left of the mature stands of Western Hemlock that we have around here.

Just beautiful. I realize the lack of strong contrast is a personal choice and it gives the photo a very interesting look.
Great work.

Beautiful, I love the soft light and foggy conditions, perfect for this type of scene imo. The vertical comp definitely emphasizes the majesty of these big old trees. :toast:

Yup! The tonality, contrast, colors and orientation of this image really do capture the essence of this kind of forest. :smile:

I like the composition. It as it gives a sense of scale to the larger trees which can be hard to do in an intimate scene like this. The fog and soft light give a great mood and really set this one off.

Really like the composition with the strong lines of the tree trunks. Has a nice ethereal mood with the fog; invokes a sense of quiet in the forest.

Feels like a foggy cathedral, Tim. I like the verticalness provided by the trunks.

I really like the way you have captured the misty nature of this scene. It might have been tempting to add contrast, but I am glad you didn't! It works beautifully as is!
