    Army of Trees

    I did this shot last fall when there were no leaves on the trees, and promised myself I'd come back when everything's green..... glad I did...

    This is my first picture posted, so I'd love to hear what you think of it...

    tks,

    I like the colours and exposure of this, I might try cropping a bit off the top and right to sift that vanishing point way from the centre and bring that tree in the left foreground into a bit more prominence

    Isn't it a cool thing in nature that the colours never seem to clash...

    Beautiful. I like that you centered the vanishing point here, though a slight crop off the right would actually center it a bit better as it seems to be just a bit over to the left.

    Great subject. Your exposure and color is just right.

    Lovely capture....I do like the title as well.

    This is a fine image, great color. You have a good eye for composition. I agree that it needs just a tweak to make it more centered - if possible.

    Just to add that I'm impressed with your work. Welcome to PR........

    Very nice! I think this image would look best as large as you could display it. Ideally it would be on a super large monitor in a gallery. Excellent exposure (which I suspect is a minor HDR - nice work) and good symmetry. My only complaint is that it seems to be leaning to the right, but not sure; plus that adds a little offbeat mystery to it.

    Re: Army of Trees

    Wow! Its incredibly beautiful! Great coloring and lighting.. The only thing that could maybe be improved would be croping a bit off the side so that the line of trees corresponds with the rule of thirds? Or center it a bit more.. ?

    But AMAZING shot. I love it.

    Very well done. I like the comp as is. I would also suggest to perhaps play around with cropping about a third from a left or right for a fun different look.

    Beatiful. Other than a bit darker and maybe straightening the central pillar I would have done it the same way.
