Golden-Light-Moss-Forest-Lake-Quinault--email

Recently returned home (to Australia) from a month long tour of the

West Coast - USA and have been pleased with some of the images I was

able to capture whilst traveling.

This is one of the many gorgeous moss laden forests in the Colonel Bob

Wilderness / Lake Quinault Area. The Olympic National Park is one of

America's best kept secrets...........

Please click on the image to view a larger format - any crits or

comments welcome.

The colors and composition are quite nice.  To my eye, the photo looks over-sharpened.  The textures of the trail and the mosses seem to be too "gritty," especially where multiple, small lighted areas meet multiple, small dark areas.  As a result, the image begins to look too stylized and more like a painting.  I hope others will comment on this aspect, because I'm not sure of this observation.
