Is it officially winter here yet? With all this rain!
Lovely work, pleasant back-lighting and moisture on the stems. Good tonal range from bracketed shots? Crisp and pretty natural colours. Not overly processed. Log pointing to sun also a good compositional technique.
I like how you turned what could quite easily have turned out to me a rather mundane and uninspiring image into a striking, captivating and visually pleasing composition. 7
