Editing steps:

Convert from RAW in Lightroom (no editing in LR)
Crop in CS4

Gosh, I feel sorry for the poor trees, let alone a photographer out there with them! 10

This reminds me a trip I took to Yosemite... Not sure it really shows the beginning (or even the end) of the day - the lighting is too even.

Just when I figured out life's answers, all the questions changed.

This shot brings a really interesting perspective. Is this a real landscape? It looks a lot like the trees from the old animated frosty the snowman movies. I love it. The dark sky in the top right brings a nice contrast to the trees as well as the bright sky on the left.

I'm waiting for the singing to begin! Well done.
