Living in the Pacific NW of the US we get a lot of rain making for thick mossy forests that are extremely beautiful but I've always found them difficult to photograph. So recently I went out really intent on finding some good photos in the chaos and here is what I came up with.
Thanks for looking and let me know what you think (critique welcome).

Beautiful scenery.
Something very special about such ecosystems and you've captured that very well.
Light is very nice in these scenes. Not an easy photo to take successfully.
Well done.

Nice job. Maybe a less is more approach? A closer look at one branch?

I like them.

I think the first photo in the second post is the strongest. Most likely because like avondale87 said, it focuses a bit more on one subject than the first two.

I too have found it challenging to make a great photo of a forest, but like you, I keep trying.
