This is even nicer when viewed the original size. Love the geotag idea aswell. England has some very lovely lush green countryside.

Xot says:

The lighting and colors are cool and peaceful. Personally, I'd like to see more of the lane in the distance, and less of the tree branches above. Also, the splash of light on the right is distracting. Voted as "deleteme" (from Delete me! group)

when I saw the thumbnail of this image I thought it looked rather boring but larger it's very inviting. I love the color light and composition itself

Best Diver says:

i like the whole composition. the pathway ends perfectly just above the center of the photo.
it's a little bit to "advertisily", but today was a very hot day and so i like to see some green

SpicyTuna says:

I had to view this in its original size to be convinced. When I first saw it I thought the tree foilage was a wee bit overpowering. When I view on a larger size it just works. Love the depth.

Liked this one too - particularly those bands of light crossing the frame which just add to the feeling of depth and perspective.

Olivia Leigh says:

Wow, gorgeous. The trees are almost bordering on too busy, too difficult for the eye to analyze, but the symmetry and light on the ground really adds balance and visual interest. Great!

that's really lovely. Do you live on The Wirral Richard? Where aboots? I lived from yrs 4 - 18 in Hoylake
Posted 28 months ago. ( permalink )

Meerkat Thunderpants says:

Bromborough, eh? I knew the north and west sides better when I was there (but I left in '73 or thereaboots, for the bright lights of Leeds, in answer to your question, Richard :-) )... do you know Parkgate at all? Or Hillbark (the back side of Thurstaton Common?) -Lots of photo-ops there, if memory serves me well...
I've enjoyed exploring your stream very much.
You said you're going away soon -where are you going to Richard?
Posted 28 months ago. ( permalink )

RichardLowkes says:

Hi sorry just noticed your comment - I'm teaching English in France for a year (part of degree at uni). Should be great fun, and great for photos (will be in Burgundy).

I like photography here on the Wirral (it's not a particularly happening place itself, but I do consider myself lucky to live here). I often used to photograph round thurstaston, but have got out of the habit of late. Doing more stuff round Liverpool I suppose.
