single photos Redwood National Park, CA

I really love this picture. I love shots that involve mood and emotion, and I think this photo evokes both.

It's like gods looking down at me. :o) very dream like. 4/5

Very very nice. Air so thick you can taste it.

its not luck. its the person behind the camera. i love the shot. l.

I can almost smell the unique aroma of the forest, the light rays breaking through and bathing the area. Its a great photo that really takes the viewer right there. I think what I like most are the light rays splitting through the tree in the center.

Good capture of the rays (takes a lot of luck and patience!) Here's my version from the Southern Hemisphere http://capetownskies.com/0547/13_rays_fog_trees_rm_crit.jpg

People seem to like this even though I feel it is cliche. What is

different about it?

I think the idea here is great. But the composition just doesn't stir me much. The sun rays are very striking but this grouping of trees leave me wanting something else. The printing could be a lot better too. James

This evokes mysticism and fantasy, you almost can climb the fog hanging in the air. Great shot...

It's breathtaking. Definately one of those photos where I would have just loved to have been there myself. I love that the light rays are uneven, in that they extend farther down to the left. It's very calming and has an almost spiritual significance. Beautiful! Good work.

Hey, if people want to buy it, let them. I don't see much harm in that. But you're right it is a cliche image and you are aware of it. You obviously have the technique down well so make more pics and sell them.

A. I agree it is cliche-- doesn't make it bad by any means, especially since...

 

B. Stuff like this will always sell.

 

It's very pretty.

The redwoods and mist are very indicative of the northern california coast. I have a shot taken a little later, with the sun higher in the sky in a similar location. http://www.photo.net/photodb/photo?photo_id=344811
