A few shots taken that I took the other day. Cant decide if I am happy with the contrast in the images, especially the last one. I tried to boost some of the highlights on the tree, but then did not like that they were the same luminosity as the sky, any opinions? Any thoughts on the second image regarding color? I like the overall lighting tone in the color version, but I wanted the moss to be lighter, which I could only make believable in B&W. Any other observations, comments, or critiques would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks for looking.

How does this edit compare to the original one?

i like the edit much better, but the noise is unfortunate.

these are great...something i could really see as a framed series if you added more of the close-ups...

nicely done.
