You have captured the height and density of the forest very well IMO. It is hard to capture something like this, but a wider lens would probably give you a little more latitude. If that sole dissenter against verticality could be brought out more, this would become more interesting to me.

I agree with Stefan that you did a great job depicting the towering grandeur of the trees, and did so without going to the more common 'ants-eye' view looking up into the canopy to convey height. I also like the defiant tree in the middle of the path, which also stands out by being darker than those around it. The greens are wonderful, with a touch of blue in them that speaks of cool temperatures (unlike the yellower greens in these parts.) I like it!

I hear you've had perfect weather over Easter Becky? I know well what you mean by your trees being heavily moss covered.
Here the moss help give that feeling of density and dampness to the forest. Also like the foreground space you give to this shot. Nothing to pick :)

The composition is fine here. The title well describes what you were after. One thought that would improve this in my opinion, would have been to use a tripod and stop down to f/11 or even possibly f/16 to maximize your depth of field. While I like the amount of foreground road you've chosen here, it's just not sharp enough to work as effectively as it could. Stopping down would certainly solve this. The background sky also appears a bit too bright...is mildy distracting. I returned not too long ago with many similar types of images from the Pacific Northwest and one thing really saved the day so to speak over and over...bracketing! Practically each image was bracketed by .3 in each direction. I have found most all of the better images slightly under-exposed rather than over. It is much easier to add a measure of density to an image than it is to take it away. Just my two cents. This one is nice as is with even greater potential for another visit. Thanks too for your very well thought out comments on my images. Always appreciated! Aloha.
