 A small forested area along my commute where I've wanted to stop for a long time. It was more rewarding than I even imagined. In the winter these little valleys will fill with rain water and make beautiful ponds. Can't wait to go back then.

This is absolutely beautiful. The image is so soft. Love how the light comes through the trees and creates some nice shadows in just the right places.

Simply beautiful scene, the shadows from the trees gives it some character.

What a great fall photo. I like the lighting (and shadows) on the leaves, and the photo is very nicely detailed.

this is a great setting, but you do lose some detail toward the top where you're lightening the sky.

maybe try to combine two (or more) exposures and gradually work your way up from dark to light?

Aren't these side challenges so fun to get us to stop and take note of our world around us. I'm glad you stopped and shared this beautiful little spot with us. I'd love to see the winter version too!

Oh, beautiful. It makes me feel like I'm there, going for a walk, the way you took it so that we're looking out through the trees.
