This has the magic Roz touch, re processing and subject matter.....
It has so much depth, but also so much texture and interest in those logs at the front......
Very "Roz Classy" processing on this image. You seem to truly have a good understanding about which tools to use to get what you want from an image.
I shot one last weekend almost like this. I will post it for you in my portfolio tonight.
Roz, you do a great job taking these simple shots and making them into a near fantasy-land! I like the way you really brought out the soft light in this.
