The Sal Forest

Continuing my series - Morning sun breaking into the Sal forest.
I think, it would work well in B&W but due to orange sun star I went for colour version.
Thank you so much for your kind views n comments!

The light makes the image for me. I also like the composition. The thing that makes it really work for me is I wish I was there shooting and experiencing the morning.

The rays/beams through the trees and light on hte ground shrubs are nice. Comp looks nice and the eye is led to the open left. There are 2 red flare spots against the trees in a 7 o'clock direction from the sun.

Magnificent! Great light and beautifully composed. IMO the best by far of the series.

Jegdeep, this is a delightful image very well framed. Having the sun star in the right place in the frame is a bonus, and the light radiating onto the forest floor makes for a moody presentation. Well executed devil

This is really nice, Jagdeep. I prefer it to the one you posted earlier. I love the light here, and the contemplative mood. I also see the flare spot that Doug mentioned. I am not usually a fan of sun stars, but this works very well.

Jagdeep,

Another beauty from the deep forest. I agree with you the color is important here precisely for the sun star. The rays of sunlight through the mist, while not super strong, and apparent enough throughout the frame to tie everything together.

Beautifully captured.

I have a new favorite image from this series. The light in this scene, combined with the great composition really arrests my attention. One minor nit would be to clone out the little bit of red lens flare beneath and to the left of the sun. Great work!

Well that is some amazing conditions. I can see leaving the sun star but try cropping just below it. Makes it more mystical even! Great shot.

A great moment in time Jagdeep,

You have a sweet little series of this deep forest captures, maybe would make for a nice set of images kind of put together in a a frame as a set. Not much more to say for myself than the mood and light is killer in this image and the other two I have seen. This one has that enchanted feel to it, and it is just a pleasure to take in.
