Hoh: The Enchanted Rain Forest

This photo was taken in between spring showers with fresh green

leaves on the tree and plants at the Hoh Rain Forest. All comments

and ratings are welcome.

I like the colour tones and contrast. Well composed anyway. A great job.

butiful forest

Okay...that is impressive. Did you enhance the colors? Very nice...

Very nice work, I have been there and the scenery is beautiful! You did a very nice job capturing the rain forest.

recompression doesn't allow to show images like this one in full glory. breathtaking scene.(6/7) regards,

Very nice image!

Jay, nice one indeed even though I'm quite familiar with the location. Sound composition and nice colors. Regards.

this is fairy-tale-like! Also the green and red...one wonders about the sounds one could hear wandering around at that place...

Amazing shot and colors!!!

The path....! I love the colors...and the place!Composition is at its best and definitely seen better at large version.This shot is taking me somewhere , that walkway is leading me to...somewhere.

I like very much the lighting and the composition.

Just a wonderful image. Doubt if the saturation was turned up, this is how I recall it. Composed well too. Good job!

The colors, the lighting, the composition and the warmth makes this work for me.

Thanks everyone for the rating and comments on my photo.

On Composition: The composition of this photo was selected to satisfy the three criteria. First, I wanted the trees covered with moss to be uniformly spaced with respect to one another. Second, I wanted the trail to be placed off-center. Third, I wanted the trail to be visible for as long as possible. So, I walked around the area with camera lens set at 17mm until I found the appropriate spot.

On Color: Complements of Mother Nature!

Colors and mood are great!

Great colors, beautiful composition... well done!!

Refreshing and haunting. Correctly exposed and beautifully composed. Regards.

What a wonderful 6:7 composition with awesome colors.

hmm.. this is nice, but i have a couple of things to say. seeing as you're using top-notch equipment, i'm guessing that this photo is either suffering from serious jpeg compression or camera shake. i'm guessing that you used an f-stop of at least f11 or higher, seeing how everything is in focus to about the same degree, and that your shutter speed was pretty slow to compensate. i've taken a fair number of pictures in the hoh and had similar frustrations with camera shake. i always swear that next time i'll lug the tripod out there with me, but haven't yet done it. the light, as you know, can be quite dim in that forest and i think shots such as this with a big DOF demand a tripod (i'm only guessing you didn't use one, of course). other than the softness, i think this is excellent, though. composition and color, as everyone else has said, are both great. thanks for sharing.

 

 

Absolutely a great composition with wonderful colors! Congrats!

Very good comp. and beautifoul tones. I like the worm and colors in this image.

 

Cheers, allon.

Jay...wow...love the colors and this is a path that I would follow any day. Your imaginative images lead my eyes on adventures I long to take.

Definitely on my list of places to visit one day, Excellent shot!

Very well captured, Jay.
