Polish Woodlands - In The Shadow of Giants

Hi Folks!

Another spot and shot of yesterday's amazing conditions in the forest.
Old parts of the forests are always the best places to look for inspirations.

On this one I was impressed by the size of the trees growing around - I was looking for something which allow me to show the scale of those trees.

I found a nice spot with young beech tree, lighten up by the sun rays going inside the forest floor by the gap behind.

Back lighting is always one of the best, made the proper mood. You can see how different color has the light in the direct sun and how cold and blue it was in the shadowed area in the background.

Air was hazy so this light contrast was even better exposed.

In this set I shared three different cropping and framing for the same motive - traditional 2:3 with the small tree far on the right site which in my opinion works very well to show the scale of the trees, second shot is in a square format which helps to focus on a main subjects and the third one - with bigger zoom on the tree but in panoramic format.

Which in Your opinion is the best? Let me know.

Hope I was able to share with You some inspiration and ideas.
