 The light was just perfect filtering through the trees. I tried a few more without the tree centered, but I liked this one the best

Great tree cum shadow, and golden green alley of light. (Crossing branches across top right and left corners a bit distracting; would a bit cropped off the top help? Realize the deeper blue at the top balances the grass in shade at the bottom).

very nicely executed, fits the theme so well. I wud have liked a tighter crop. The branches coming in the frame from the top are distorting the balance of this picture. I think the attention poin in this image is the shadow of the tree and the light on the grass and a closer crop would have highlighted it more- nonetheless its a nice image 7
