Woodland Fresh   Loch an Eilean, Cairngorm, Scotland

This lovely spacious birch plantation is at the edge of Loch an Eilean and during the autumn months it is like a cathedral of gold and orange.  I tried to exclude any trace of daylight to prevent blown out highlights diluting the attention from the wonderfully complex patterns of light and shade.  The layering of different shades of green helps to separate the elements and strengthen composition.
