Stunning views, with incredible light in this enchanted forest.
Beautiful beams of sunlight that cross the branches and go to rest on the young trees on the ground.

A beautiful example of just how magical sunlight through a forest can be! Love this one, Mike!

Beautiful. Love the sunbeams. In the bottom how about considering some darkening of the plants from the center to the right corner. It is bright here and leads my eye out of the picture. The star here is the sun, the sunbeams in the upper part of the image and i wouldnt want distract from that. The colours are beautiful. Maybe another version would crop from the bottom and crop out the trunk on the left. That might focus the image more on the special part of the image.

Loving those sunbeams! You've managed the light very well here, and I really like your composition. Agree with John on a little bump up on the warmth and desaturate the blue on the main tree. Nice work miker.
