Great tones, textures and trees. Very much like the high contrast between the 'greenery' and those trees just waiting for Spring's warmth to let them put on their green sheen.
What a wonderful stroll and a nice lot to live on I'd say! Love your placement of the stream beginning at the left bottom corner. It has an ombre effect from top to bottom too. Such a lovely scene!
"You live near such interesting places, it must be so easy to be a photographer around such beauty" says the person who thinks that beautiful locations make for great photography. "I find interesting ways to photograph places" says the person who has the eye to make the ordinary extraordinary. Richard, I just love your work. I love seeing the world through your eyes.
Great tones again.
