Transquility

Pretty

The log is like a gigantic stick insect crawling through the woods.

Looks pretty tranquil to me. The horizontal line of the fallen log makes a nice counterpoint to the vertical trees.

Love this

What a marvelous portrayal of the light and atmosphere.

This is lovely
The quiet tones of the mist are captures wonderfully

I have not seen this before, but you are absolutely right! Reminds me of when I was a kid and had a jar with a stick insect that eventually got loose and reproduced itself, leaving the whole house full of creeps, to my mom's great horror.
I have this print framed and hanging on the wall; will from now on look at it with two completely different set of eyes.

Thanks for your comments!

Normally such dark partial trunks such you have on the right can be a distraction. In this case I am surprised at how well it holds the image together instead.
Perhaps a little heavy on the burning on the top of the image. A little less would open up the feeling of the light and mists, but it is a matter of your intentions. Right now, my eyes are nicely drawn along the 'horizon' where it is lighter behind the trees. Lightening the upper portion would give more of a look of the light descending. Just a slightly different 'feel'. One might be able to get both.

Very nice.......it has a very soft feel to it and I think the tonal scale is generally nicely represented given the lighting conditions. I probably would be tinkering with that foreground log to see if I could raise its value a bit on the areas where no bark is........but I really like it.

A beautiful image that is a dead tree laying before funeral congregation trees still standing.
