Enchanted Forest

An experiment in B&W. Thanks for looking closer. Your thoughts are

appreciated.

I'm not sure if this was the right choice, for your intended purpose - i.e. the creation of an 'Enchanted Forest' image. There must have been some direct sunlight on the ferns in the foreground, as they appear rather bright. Also, their presence has a kind of blocking effect, preventing my eyes from penetrating the image much further than the nearby tree. This effectively gives this image a depth of a couple of yards. When I envisage an enchanted forest, I would like to be able to look 'into it'.

Somewhat along the line of this beauty by John McLaine.

Peter, thank you for taking time to offer your opinion about this photo. Perhaps Enchanted Forest was a poor choice of words for this particular scene. Your image and Mr. McLaine's both draw you further into the forest and I like that look. I am having fun focusing on B&W work so I may post other images closer to what you envision. Thank you for pointing me to John McLaines portfolio. I will learn by watching yours as well. They both are beautiful.
