Absolutely amazing early morning walk in Redwoods. It was raining on the way there, but I knew that the clouds are low and the chance of sunbeams is pretty good. We waited for about an hour and than the show began :) Few miles up on the road was a cloudless sunny morning :)

That there is some sweet light! I love the idea of the person in the shot having a different perspective than the viewer. I like the tension created where I feel I'm only getting a glimpse of what is going on before me. I do find that those two silhoutted leaves in the upper right top pull my eye away a bit. Other than that, I love the feeling you captured here.

Tomas,
Great composition with the person there. I really like how this was captured with the sky so blue. Most times with mist and fog you get a real soupy sky that's hard to work with.
Superb.

Tomas, IMO, what really makes this image is the person standing by the redwood.

Nice shot.

What a dramatic presentation. The inclusion of a man adds to the awe-inspiring feeling of God looking down on the world and helps me put things into perspective. Congratulations on a wonderful image.
