Hello everyone,here we are again in Sherwood Forest.
I wanted to share this shot with you, to give you a feeling for what it is like to be there, walking along the track.
In this part of the forest there are ancient oak trees, like the ones either side of the track.Some have enormous trunks and boughs.Growing alongside them there are birch trees and many other species.

I never get tired of walking around the forest.On this particular day, we saw a treecreeper and a nuthatch, and we could hear a woodpecker in the distance.

Thanks for your visit.

Hello, Jean.

This is lovely. I really suppose this is what pretty much all of Britain looked like until deforestation took place: most of the country was apparently deciduous forest which, I presume, would have looked pretty similar to this.

Lovely colours and lighting - great light and shade but with full details still visible in the brightest areas and in the darkest shadows.

Excellent!

Best Wishes,

John.

Hello Jean
What a wonderful place to visit while walking. Nature has so much to offer.
Love how you used the trees to frame the dof which seems to take us into the unkown.
Nice Shot
Dot

Hi Jean!

Composition is great, with the branches of the two big trees (Oak?) framing the country path, and drawing the eye into the scene.
Great colours, and the lighting's fab!

Hi Jean,
Effective use of light brings on lovely soft shadows and clear colors. Excellent depth to the view through the oaks into the mysterious forrest.
Regards, Tom

Hello Jean,
This is such a pleasant view. What a lovely composition and the
colors are just beautiful. The tranquil walk along this quiet path
is very inviting. Like this very much.

No wonder you like a stroll in this lovely forest. A nice composition, very good control of light and pleasant colours. The old oaks are really impressive. TFS.
