24 February - Forest Beech

Forest of Dean

A good day for a forest walk with almost no one else around.
The skies were dull, it was trying to snow and it was not good light for photography. At least the walk was good.

You did very well considering the conditions. The little tree makes a nice focal point and the colours in the water are lovely.

It's trying to add a little cheery colour - and it's doing alright :O)

You did well considering the poor light, I know the Forest of Dean quite well as I often go there walking but I can't place where you took this shot.

I'm always amazed at how the beech holds on to its leaves all winter. It gives a lovly splash of colour here.

Looks good and at least you made the effort to get out.
Just cant find the inspiration at the moment and waiting for spring for landscape pictures.

Well done Brian.

Works well. You chose a good subject for a cloudy day. V.

maybe the subdued light played in your favour on this one and the young beech tree with its leaves still on makes a good focal point. I like the watery colours in the water too

Well, you made the most of it...! Reminds me that I haven't been to the Forest for a long time....
