I think this picture is freakin awesome! What was your set up? strait from the camera or pp work? Great photo, for me everything is golden here.
Peace....

oh wow... I have to admit.. I came into the thread expecting something crappy... But this... This is awesome. VERY nice capture.



*edit* not that i expect your work to be crappy, just the general "Road to enlightenment" sometimes seems to be a let down.. cause i think Ive seen a thread before like that. But the way the sun is.. i could see enlightenment happening.. heh.

I really like the exact shade of green you were able to get. Its very... lush.

Would you care to share any PP techniques? It looks pretty hands-off, which I like.

I like the suns rays coming through...

Cool composition.

Really cool shot. I notice though there looks to be something weird going on with the foliage. There seems to be a tremendous loss of detail in some spots, maybe some artifacting, it's hard to tell but looks weird. I'm guessing from PP?

Wow, i didnt expect everyone to like it this much.

This shot was taken a little later than i would have liked it and the ground was way too dark so i had to make an HDR of it. I am guessing though that it worked really well? so far noone has asked me if it was or not which is good.

Other than the hdr, all i really did in PS was unsharp mask and crop.

Im guessing it would have been some slight movement in the trees when I took the sequence of shots. I really dont like doing HDR's and im looking into getting neutral grad filters.

Stunning photo! Thank you for sharing.

[Apex]

[250Gimp]

Wow!! Excellent shot! The timing on this with the sun is awesome!!

Print it & hang it!

 

[Parkerman]

I had thought it could have been an HDR.. but I wasn't totally sure. What program did you use?

You did an awesome job on the HDR.

 

[Apex]

Thanks!

I used photomatix.

Print it & hang it!

I think i will do just that.
