I chose a location where the sun was shining down into a ravine. I focused on the trees in the background and then moved in front of some closer branches to put them out of focus. In editing, I played with saturation levels until I got it just right. Then I applied sharpness to make the detail jump out. And thats it.

That stick in the middle distracts me. When I look beyond however I don't see a true subject. I would have probably focused in on something a little more specific and shot that. There are lots of great oppertunitys there I just think you went for all of them at the same time. 5

Suddenly, I feel like a stalker out of a horror movie... I am feeling the photograph but the branch nearest the camera gives me a headache trying to look past it... I think it might be because of the blur... it just hurts my eyes...

Too contrasty ? And the composition seems cluttered.

This one lacks focus to me. I find the foreground blur distracting rather than artistic, but the overall blend of color is nice.

IMHO lighting is poor and the branch running through the middle of the image is very distracting.

Problem with these woodsy shots--there's so much detail it is just too noisy. The out-of-focus branch in the foreground is very distracting. Nice browns though.

Focus and lighting could be better

I really like this photo. Really well done. I like the balance between shadow and light and the shades of brown that each seem to beg for attention.
