Description
Today I have had the shock of my life, leaving me struggling for words, while at the same time full of joy and happiness. To be awarded with a daily deviation is a suprise, one we all probably aspire too, but never believe we will achieve. Well today very kind people have awarded me one, and I can say its really quite a humbling experience. the DA community since joining has been one terrific journey for me in such a short time. I have recieved countless positive comments, encouragement and suggestions, the support of the community has been there from the start. People following me has grown beyond any number I would have considered possible for myself given my amateur to very keen amateur journey. All of which I am indebted to you all, each and everyone of you. Now with this daily deviation being given, it really is the icing on the cake. Unexpected, but totally totally appreciated, and means so much to me. A special thank you to those that suggested me, and of course a thank you to all who have ever visited, faved, commented or watched, each and everyone has been gratefully recieved. Simon.

Alex, what can I say? Somewhat stunned by such an excellently thought out critiques, one that provides the feeling the photo evokes in you as a viewer, but also as a critique of its photographic qualities. To say your critique is gratefully recieved would be a huge understatement. It has blown me away what you have written, and means so much to recieve. Thank you Alex, your considerate thought in this way has meant alot to me, and has really made my day for sure. Simon

I was blown away by this deviation when I first saw it with my own pair of eyes. I was like I was in a dream. That's how it felt. You have accomplished making me feel like I am a part of a dream just by putting this up on DeviantART and that is one of the goals as a photographer. Making people seem like they are "in the scene". Congratulations on the Daily Deviation and I hope you aspire to great heights as a photographer and a person. Thank you so much and I will come back to your deviations time and time again. You have also made my day because I have NEVER thought you would actually respond to my critique. So I am very pleased to hear that you are doing well and again, I hope you achieve yet another Daily Deviation. You really deserved it. Continue working hard and please visit my

First of all, I love the way the trunks and the shadows are both inter graded into each other. The mist is incredible and the way you can't tell quite where the trees end and the shadows and earth begin. The title of the piece also gives it a more of a creative aspect. I think, in my personal view, if you made the trees black with a bit of editing, it might give it a more shadow effect. I have seen this subject for a photo before so I wouldn't say it's entirely your idea. But you've portrayed it in a way that has it's own unique effect. I have to say, I enjoy this photo and I'd happily hang it up on a wall in my house. Very well done with getting the colors and the sun too. You should be proud!
