Hey ToM,
The result is amazing even tho I lost you in the whole PP process.. It was way too confusing. I like the repetition of the trees, the sun beams and how they look so good in the foreground. Excellent picture ...and I am adding it to my favs. TFS

Excellent Tom - sharp sunrays and the extending shadows of the evening are the winners. Quite some work on PP and that it has enhaced the impact of the picture is quite obvious. Very well done.

Now that you've explained the PP, i dont know if the PP is better or the original shot already was. Whatever the situation, the results is very good. Cheers

Hi Tom,
I like the effect of the light and the shades inside that forest with the small fog that show us the sunrays. Excellent composition

Hello Tom,

Absolutely beautiful! The lighting is just stunning and the POV very dramatic. The line of trees is what really makes this shot with excellent DOF. Your pp work is very well done. TFS

Interesting forest with all of these well aligned trees, ToM. You have captured a very nice light through the trees like the spoke of a bicycle wheels; it also creates some light in the foreground of the picture. I am not certain if I like your centered composition on this one but I cannot really explain why...Well done!

Sorry I have run out of goodies for the day!

You bet I am enjoying it, especially that peculiar color of the sky in the background. Such an unspoiled scenery, peaceful and with enjoyable colours.

Great work ToM!

Szia ToM,
I am sure you recorded my "footprints" as well, I was amazed by the colours of Pilis as well, and made some walkes in the forest, so I enjoyed the sun coming through the filter of the autumn leaves as well :)
Nicely composed image, well done & congrats!

Hi TOm!
He are glad that you are back among us!
Lucky me that I just came across your name because I know .. shame on me .. but I certainly missed this picture!
It's a beautiful work! Actually we always try to avoid these sunrays but you made out a dreamy composition which is very pleasant to look at!
Further more, I enjoy this great play with shadows!
Congratulations and Thanks for sharing!
Luci


HAPPY NEW YEAR TO YOU!

Hi Tom,
just amazing skills that you have!! I just browsed thru your gallery, and I am amazed at the quality of your pictures.
I can only learn from your pictures, your notes (detailed)

About this picture, great pov, great PP. I like how you captured the sunrays, and still manage a blue sky.

Too bad I can only give you 2 points... :-(

Looking forward to more of your pictures.

Chiquito, I'm a novice and your post processing details fairly overwhelmed me but I must say that the overall effect is fabulous. I love this shot and I'd be interested to see the difference between the before and after.
