@tntcorp. Thanks and yes these are within driving of Seattle. Near enough to call ‘local’ . This is also one of the three areas where i conduct teaching workshops. Cheers
ref: the tree tops: just an artistic tradeoff in the field given the way other components were in the scene/area
I love the first shot. Have one suggestion though. Someone else suggested cropping out the small branches on the far right. I personally like those, but what does distract me are the few close OOF leaves on the far left. Cropping those out along with the low-growing greenery in the ditch would give a better left side to my eyes. Still, terrific as is.
