Baked too long?

Interesting work Rick. Obviously you were going for a dark and mysterious mood. This actually feels a bit scary.

As they said, the effect appreciate the light and it is very interesting.
In fact, I do not like "pure black shadows" so much, but I confess it's looks stunning.

It makes the imagination take off... is that an Orangutan coming in from the left? ;).
Jim - I have a penchant for back lit dark forest shots. So you will see a lot of these from me going forward. The creepiness is inherent in this shot, so I decided to go with it. Thanks.
Alan - Thanks, a slight Orton effect introduced with Nik Glamour Glow. Thanks for the comment.
Raphael - I tend to appreciate dark images, including blocked blacks, if done right. Not afraid of letting an image go darker than most might appreciate. Thanks for the comments.
Mike - Orangutan? Ya, My mind went to the boogey man, with the light side of the image fighting him with the light. Glad it got you looking.

Nice composition. I too love this type of shot - typical of my area, so I see it as calm and quiet, not scary at all. Where is it?

This is off of the Sultan Basin Road. Glad you like it. If you want to go out Hwy 2 some time I'm up for it. I feel like I know it fairly well , but wouldn't mind an injection of new ideas for it. It is such a treasure trove of beauty.
