sunshine in the woods

this is a very quick crit, so take from it what you may....

I love the light on those leaves. I think I'm struggling with the darkness below for some reason. I'm not sure if it helps due to the contrast, or if I want to see more detail down there. Then again, allowing more detail may detract even more. you might just play with cropping a bit, maybe at the top and at the bottom a bit to strengthen the impact of those glowing leaves. Nice.

Very good suggestion, some cropping is needed, maybe at the top.

There is some details in the dark region at the bottom, I want to keep it, I wanted the high contrast to show the light pattern, maybe it's out of the range of the film, I just saw a little detail in the dark area on negtive, but the scan is not so good. I just sent the neg out for 8X10 print, hope that will look better.

Thank you for your critique.

No problem. I like this one. Hopefully they do it justice for you. I've been attempting some leaf/tree images lately and I haven't been too successful.
