Man & Nature Gallery? Otherwise that is a very cool Tree Tunnel

Wow, this is really inviting, just makes me want to go for a walk through this enchanting forest. Well done!

A classic shot and a beauty! Love the nature of the light in the scene and the way the branches form the canopy. What a lovely walk that would be!

BOOM!!

This is one of those times where the maximum size for NPN is not adequate for panoramic images. I do wish there was a bit more foreground on this one. It would make the road a better lead-in. Also, I would suggest darkening the dark tones and even the mid tones a bit. The image ends up having a HDR sort of look because there really isn't any shadow tone -- it's all concentrated in the mid range. Often times, it's the richness of the shadows that add mystery to a scene, and revealing everything leaves little to the imagination.

Beautiful! I'd love to see it large.

Craig,

This is wonderful. Love the color and the classic composition works beautifully.

A couple things. I'm going to go ahead and move this to the Man & Nature gallery. You might just be overlooking the drop down selection box for the different galleries because I think the default selection is Landscape.

also, did you know you can upload a single 1200px version and the 720px version will be created automatically? We all like panoramics, but they of course don't show as well with smaller sizes, so a larger 1200px version would be great! Just a suggestion, you're not obligated to upload a bigger size.

Great stuff!

Lon

Thanks Lon... I'll keep that in mind!

What a cool spot. Looks like a "wall hanger" to me. I think the composition/crop choice is just fine, though I agree with Ben that the mid tones seem a bit light (on my screen).

Max

Thanks Max and Ben, I did have some artistic debate on the mid tones when processing, especially in the right and left area. I did some adjusting and it does pop more in print then on display, I noticed early on. But I will reassess again since it caught your collective eyes.

Landscape Gallery (formerly Earth, Sea and Sky) - Landscapes, seascapes and celestial images with no recognizable "hand of man."

This is the posting guideline for the Landscape gallery. You will find those in the Posting Guidelines in the green banner with white lettering above.

Fine light and excellent depth in this.

Cool Capture Mr Bill,
Congratulations on the WP . . .

Congrats on the weekly pick and wonderful image. Would have been great to see this large. Well done.

What a place! Feels like it is out of a fairy tale. Really nice colors and light in this.

Thank you Tony. I have to say that you were one of my first mentors for training/education early on, such as tutorials. They have been absolutely instrumental to me for years... Eternal gratitude!

Wow - lovely Craig. As per the other comments, what an idyllic and inviting looking place. Nicely composed. I can see where the processing of the shadows/mid-tones could go either way (as-is or slightly darker). I think the end decision would depend on what mood you're trying to achieve... Congrats on the WP!!!
