after a few days of soaking spring rains, runoff was everywhere. this scene caught my eye because of the all-enveloping lush yellow-green light that resulted from the sun filtering through the wet spring foilage canopy.

My photographs aim at being true, not at being beautiful because, [i]what is true[/i] is most often beautiful.

A pretty good one Mark. The light filtering down from the top is nice. That filtered green color is cool to see. I like the way you placed the ragged moss covered trees.

This has many sublime qualities - it doesn't punch you in the face, but invites you to quiet study and leaves you a little different. I like it.

This has more depth beyond the plane of the image than some of your other recent work. Had you gone for a longer exposure and gotten the white fuzzy water, it wouldn't feel quite so tense - the semi-frozen water really adds to the notion that forests are a sublime place.

The range in green tones is very nice to see. I get a feeling of the incredible rush of life that we see in the spring forest. Matt K's comment about the shutter speed is very interesting.
