I like the compositions-- very peaceful. But there appears to be a little bit of ghosting in the trees. Do you have links to full-sized images?

Oh, not necessary. I just had an idea based on the third I thought might be fun and also wanted to see what the difference between the taller and shorter trees was at higher res.

I made some light edits to the third but now notice you don't have a "image editing ok" tag below your info. Do you mind if I upload it to show you what I'm talking about?

Okay :) I didn't take it as far as I might have, or perhaps refine it as much as I should have, but the lighting in the cloud gave me this idea and I thought it might be fun to explore it a little!

Sorry, didn't realize you'd asked how. I used photoshop. I darkened the entire image using a curves adjustment layer (dragged the center down-right). Then I created a new layer and used a soft brush to make the shape I wanted in a golden color coming from the cloud (straight lines by clicking once, holding shift, and clicking again at the line's conclusion), then blurred that layer quite significantly (200 or so Gaussian blur), then set the blend mode for that layer to soft light. I wasn't quite satisfied with it so I set the layer style to inner glow with a similar color and that pretty much did what I wanted!

You bet! Looking at it more, it would be more "realistic" if the whole sky had somewhat of an orange tint, suggesting the clouds were blocking some sunlight that could actually be that color...
