Title: Into the Forest I go
Post by: Chris Calohan on August 12, 2012, 10:52:45 am

I've posted this in the user critique section (Trees) in a different process but like many images, I tend to go back and ask myself.."what if..?"

The original doesn't do much for me, but I like what you've done with it.

I'm with Mike. The original looks a bit harsh (too contrasty?), but the variant has some real life to it (but not for the purists, of course).

It works somewhat well for me until I get to the ground. It feels a bit mushy. Not to my personal liking. I do like the overall framing though.

The second version works best for me but I have to agree with Robbie about the ground.
