Oaks in spring

The greens are amazing, I also like the rocks. No problems to me with the web version, it looks very nice. The only nitpick is that the trees in the background are a little distracting, I would like just plain green grass after the last slope.

I have no problem with this at all, except if this is killed by compression, the large view must be amazing!

Nice spring image, love the greens and bright sun. Nice comp as well.

Love the backlighting, your great composition, and the lovely greens. Really beautiful spring image.

I love the backlighting in this photo, its what grabs me initially and then the simple composition holds my attention. really well done.

Interesting perspective, Kartik. Love that green!

love the greens and the backlighting. Simple but nice comp. nice shot

Very nice. Good composition with a curve that leads the eye to the tree.

Beautiful scene...I love the play of the tree's shadow across the grass.

The thumbnail of this caught my eye, partly because I love backlit scenes and partly because you have a nice sense of composition. The only thing I might suggest is to burn down the lower right just a hint and the next time you come across such a scene, set your subject off by using a shallower depth of field. That way, those trees way back would not complete with your magnificent tree.
Still, nicely done!

Very spring. These oaks and hills go together so well. I like the skyless comp.

Very, very nice California hills Spring capture! This was taken in CA right?

Nice playing between shadows and light areas, this comp. is speaking loud ;) electric greens and interesting oak, well done Kartik

Well done Kartik, superb lighting in this one.. really like the composition you have chosen as well. The green really grabs the attention as well.

Don't you just love the look of fresh, backlit grass? I like the color, and the especially the way the shadow falls on the hill. I do wish the background was a bit less distracting though. If the shadow from the background hill engulfed the trees before the foreground light went away, that would be ideal. However, I imagine the foreground would be in shade if the background was also in shade.
