This is definitely my favorite of your recent posts. The composition is fantastic. For me, I wouldn't mind seeing it a tad brighter.

Lovely comp, Barbara. I think the lighter tones in the trees would benefit from some brightening and the more I look at this, the more I think B&W or even a warm duotone, like in Lenswork, would add to the mood. Nice work.

Very nice Barbara. A lovely choice of subject matter, and very representative of Florida landscape. I like this!

Definitely Florida. I would also like the shadows a bit brighter, and maybe some more interesting lighting.

I think this is the most cohesive, and artisitic composition from you so far. This is a really nice comp! I would however prefer a thicker canopy, or some very overcast skies to reduce the impact of the light in the gaps of the tree branches and foliage. Something to keep in mind for next time. Another way of going about it would be to not include so much of the area that has the sky coming through. Then you could probably increase your exposure a bit more. That would increase the shadow detail and such.

Barbara, for me it is your best shot so far, I appreciate it as it is. Brightening might be an option, but in this case I would be afraid of ruining this specific atmosphere.
