Description
I read a story as a teenager (oh so long ago! LOL)that likened the forests with their tall trees and and the light coming through the leaves to Nature's Cathedral. I've been in some beautiful forests and the feeling I got was exactly like that. It was awesome.
This was based on a tutorial from www.geekatplay.com from their Epic Landscapes tutorials. This is pretty much as it came out except for a little layer adjustment to bring out the colors and add a bit of ambiance.

Wonderful light and atmosphere. I love the volumetric light in the back. Beautiful vegetation. Excellent work.
Superbly and fantastic image..bravissimo!:DDD.Hugsxx Whylma
The feeling one gets as they walk though such places is one which makes him feel tiny, as if in the presence of something almost immortal. You've done a great job of bringing that "feeling" to this image. Outstanding work my friend. seth
