The heavy amout of ferns and leave make a good contrast woth the tree trunks as well and the bridge and its path. Does the image have a small tilt?

The bridge works nicely to lead the eyes into the distant forest. I too noticed a perceived tilt. A very inviting image.

Robert,

Nice job including the footbridge in this composition. What I find interesting is the partial inclusion of the giant redwood. In other words, as the viewer I really have no idea how big or how far out of the frame the tree goes, which makes this intriguing I think.

Color and exposure looks good, but I think this is suffering slightly from jpg comression. Otherwise, a very pleasing and inviting scene.

Robert,

I agree with a cuople of points...The sense of mystery regarding the redwood is intriguing, and the bridge is a nice touch. It also looks like there is a slight CW tilt.

The color and light look very nice. This looks to be a great place for quiet walk. Good job!
