“And hear at times a sentinel
— In Memoriam by Lord Alfred Tennyson
Who moves about from place to place,
And whispers to the worlds of space,
In the deep night, that all is well.”

Sentinels
Awesome forestscape and beautiful dreamscape! Light and composition – especially the position of the sun and the spacing between the trees – are outstanding.
I love the way the long shadows stretch out towards us…
Looks like my backyard almost. Why haven’t I shot a photo as good as this one?
Very good!
@ Mats, looks like your backyard?!! Wow, for real?
Those strong shadows make the image very strong
a photograph which I like well!
Tremendous strength in this imposing image, Martina!
great work, light, place Martina …
Martina, what a wonderful forest. Even a forest I would designed myself wouldn’t have been better than this one. I love the moss covered forest floor. Great retention of detail in the shadows considering the strong back lighting. Did you use any type of lighting or is this a multi-exposure? I’m trying to learn your secrets.
Hi Earl, thanks for your insightful comments as usual. This is just a single exposure, where the sun happened to be in the right position to create the dramatic shadows. Sometimes you just get lucky!
linearity and simmetry are perfect, so as layering of light, this shot is really fascinating
Nice work…love the lines!
excellent shot, love the light and tones
I love how the light shines trough
It reminds me of a fairytale! What a stunning picture! x
Stunning picture. Thumbs up !
You’ve captured the right moment there, that’s clear. I love the perspective created by the rays of light and the shadows and the pattern of trees….Nice shot!
Beautiful photo! Like the composition and your play with light and shadows …
