(Post challenge): Thanks to all for your thoughtful and encouraging comments, and for the fav. I hate that I botched the title reference. Thank you blindjustice and Bear_Music for your comments that explain the Robert Frost line, you both made the reference much clearer. The fogginess of the background woods were a real-life phenomenon, not a product of post processing, in case anyone may wonder.

Like a scene out of a fairy tale. A beautiful image. If only there was a person(even partially hidden) somewhere in the forest, it would push this to fave status ;) Perhaps a maiden or even a hint of a deer. (none voter, just commenting)
Beautiful. Wonderful contrast between the rough, defined, dark oak and the softer, muted, hazy white of the birch. (Sorry if I've botched the names.) Great composition to show this off as well.
Nit-pick time; the actual Frost quote is "The woods are lovely, dark and deep..." with only one comma. The woods have two qualities; "dark and deep" is seen as a single quality in support of "lovely". With the second comma, "dark" and "deep" are separated into distinct attributes, not what Frost intended.
None of this impacts my judgment of the image (it's quite nice) and you may not care at all, but in case you do... :-)
Oh wow, this is divine. I love how the white trunked trees are like ghosts. Very ethereal. The dotting of the ground with the leaves is really beautiful. 8
points for a Frost reference, (technically Frost never wanted the comma between dark and deep, because the "dark and deep" was to describe why the woods were "lovely." not that they were also dark and deep.) but, I dig your secondary row of birches. and the fog is mysterious.
