I'm tempted to clone out the road, sign, and bridge in the upper left, which I didn't notice at the time :oops:
On last year's Jasper workshop, while we were waiting around for Elk to show up at the end of the day, Tom Hill called us over, as he had noticed the great shadows in this stand of trees.
Thanks Tom, I'd have never seen this, even if I was walking through it.

Nice shot, Steve. If this were mine, I would crop out the dark band at the top, as I think it strengthens the comp.

Very nice ligth. I would also try to shoot it again or clone that out but I like it a lot.

I love backlit trees and shadows and you have a great arrangement of trees here. I'd also crop the dark band at the top - I think the resulting image is very striking.

cheers,
Eric

Nice. Cropping this from the top would eliminate the man stuff.

Looks like a bit of man made stuff creeped in on the left. Actually cropping this from the top to eliminate that makes for a very strong photograph.

Those long shadows are great Steve. I'm gonna jump on the "crop the top" bandwagon too. Don't think that stuff at the top is adding anything to the image anyway. If were all woods back there that would probably work fine.

The crop works for me, dunno why I didn't think of it....
