Alan, a gorgeous variety of trees in beautiful landscapes. I really like the North Fork of the Siuslaw image—the moss covered branches certainly create a unique image. Another favorite image is the Sweet Creek trail—an interesting composition too. The Portland Japanese Garden captures another beautiful scene—nice! Of course, the Bryce Canyon is another beautiful landscape too. Thank you for sharing all these images Alan.I think I might be able to come up a shot or two for this one

Four beautiful “tree” landscapes, Larry! The “old cottonwood”, the gorgeous Red Rocks pine, and the “Old Timer” are great images—all well captured. My absolute favorite is the B&W Bristlecone Pine image—perfect composition and editing! Thank you for sharing all these well seen scenes.

Jameel, beautiful captures you’ve shared (thank you!), I especially love the Arches image with the tree’s green foliage against the red rock—nice color contrast. The light rays streaking through the canopy in your redwoods capture creates a memorable image. I especially love both the moonset and moonrise landscapes—both are well composed with beautiful light. Again thank you for sharing!

Ken, thank you for sharing these four very beautiful images! The first capture is enhanced with all the layers composing this landscape—love the colors and light! I also love the B&W image of the trees in the mist—perfect! My favorite is your last image—the island of trees enhanced with their reflection and soft light, a perfect composition! (I like the added detail of the two birds on branches).
