Lovely "catch lights" on the tips of foliage. Reminds me of Guy Tal's "Ghost".

Nice Work Julian!

Beautiful light and contrast Jullian. The subtle earth tone colors of the branches and foliage as well as the ghostly birch trunks are stunning.

What incredible light, Julian! This is spectacular. I love the two levels of light, the earthy tones, and the mysterious shadows.

Julian,

It's all about the light most of the time and this is a grand example of how to use the light for an image with wonderful impact. What's to critique here? This is outstanding!
