Dee,

 

yours is a nice frame for a chaotic jungle. Respect!

I find it always difficult to find a good frame in a forest. It is always a challenge. If found a good frame the question of exposure is the next Problem. But here it worked quite well and the small part of burnt sky can be neglected. Or perhaps a cropping just an Inch from the top?

How about b&w conversion? Then the texture of the different kinds of foliage could be interesting. But this is just a suggestion. I do not know whether it will work. The shades of green are likewise very attractive.

Iduna,

Thank you so much for your detailed response and for your very pertinent suggestions, this little shot was just a quick snapshot and really only exists as a counterpoint to the burning forest image.

I took it because the light was so lovely through the tree canopy. The sky actually was whited-out with high cirrus cloud and so really quite hopeless, it doesn't worry me with this image as the overall green is so predominant....yes, I can live with it!

As for cropping that's something I almost never, never do, can't really say why but I just feel I have failed somehow if an image requires cropping in pp.....silly I know but there it is!....but again, thank you so much!

Dee,

yes, I can understand, because I rarely do crop my own Pictures. Let is all as it is, a good documentary of what was before the area was going to be devastated....
