Sol Duc Rainforest, Olympic National Park, Washington.

A brilliant green, backlit arrangement of vine maples, sword ferns, and clovers, photographed deep in the temperate rainforest of Olympic National Park. Thanks for looking!

Well done arranging this Alex; these chaotic forest scenes are so hard to simplify. I especially like that foreground. It's a little dark on my monitor (however, my monitor is aging), but would probably look much better on a dark background.

Very nice image, Alex. It really captures the feel of the rainforest and the beauty. I agree the foreground is very nice and its order contrasts nicely with the jungly character of the bg. Well done. Chet

Gorgeous rainforest greens Alex. Nice soft diffused light as well! Also, a good cohesive comp to boot!

Excellent comp and light in what is frequently a very chaotic scene. I like the intensity of the green as it befits this rainforest environment.

Very green and very cool. Love the light on the foreground leaves and the comp is sweet. Beautiful work.

Fantastic job bringing order to chaos Alex. The rain forests in Olympic NP are magical and you surely captured that magic in this image.

Alex, there is a lot going on with all of the lines zig-zagging across the composition, but I think you have successfully brought order out of the chaotic nature of the landscape. I like all of the various shades of green which seems to be the uniting element. Very nice work!!
