Judi, this is a really awesome pic. The lighting and composition are fantastic. You should really consider doing some editing on this..........it would look even better if you could brighten it up in the shadows a little to show some more detail. Great job! I like it alot.

Wow, thanks! I will go try some editing and see what I can come up with.

I have this one too. Which do you like better? I know, I still need to edit.

I think I like the first one best. You can see more of the green in the trees. Good job! I like it.

I like the first one better. You need some shadows to accent the light, just not so dark you loose the detail in the shadows.
