Those yellows are pushed to the limit. The foreground rock with the moss seems to defined physics as the light is now illuminating back of it without any apparent reason. I see so many PS techniques used in this shot that I have serious doubts it's real (as far as the light goes). But don't get me wrong, it's still very nice and sellable. Nice composition too. It certainly is an eye candy. Hell, I'll give you the Featured Thread vote.

Hi Gregg, believe it or not there's no light added down to the rocks in the foreground. I just looked back to the RAW file as I was interested myself where that color is coming from and it indeed is either sunlight or some discoloration in the moss that deviated from the bright green that's everywhere else. Thanks for your critique!

Great image with some nice soft light. I have no problem at all with the centered composition. The only thing I would change is the light reflection on the stone at the left side of the foreground. I find it a bit distracting from the main subject and would probably either dodge it or crop it.

Good spot on that small rock, I'll fix it for future presentations, thanks

This a super image, how do you get the luminosity of the green to pop like that?
Thanks I like to pop the curves on "lights" in RAW, helps bring out the subtle light on things.
