I like the composition and the detail in the tree bark, Robert, the only thought I have is to maybe try bringing down the highlights just a bit, especially on the Rhody buds. I think if you have not used TK's masks on it yet they maybe of help in this situation.

I like the comp Robert. The foliage, bark and flowers keep it simple. You did great with the light that was given to you.
Robert, I agree with Reno in that it seems too light, and the colors lack the richness I've experinced in redwood forests. You might want to play around with it some more. The composition works very nicely, and the image has lots of good detail.

I like the comp but I have the feeling that the light wasn't right. maybe a bit to harsh for this kinda scene ?

Agree w/ what Reno & PB about the "washed out" look. Perhaps a slight exposure reduction might help this in the raw processing?
