It's a very nice and soft light that shines on the moss. I like the foreground, darker and vertical trees, they look like a gate to access the golden light.

Good thing my zip lining guide quizzed me today on that and gave me an answer.  These are redwoods and were about 200 ft in this area.  They can grow to well over 300 ft.

Thanks for this quick answer.

Really tall, we don't have such tall trees here, even very old ones.

Wonderful. I really like the way the diagonal tree breaks the pattern.

I would consider cutting this to the top 1/3rd, maybe take a look.  Makes it more fine art than landscape, but also drills right into the heart of the beauty of this picture.
