Ashridge Forest

[Mohain]

The missus was out this morning so I had a couple of hours at a forest in Ashridge Estate, Hert to get some autumn colours. This is what I got :)

I like them all!
2nd one has a lovely dreamy, almost magical effect, really draws me in and makes me want to meander around in there.
Love the close-up of the sun on the leaves in no3. ....and the last ones just sort of really cute! :thumbs:

Very nice! You certainly did what you set out to achieve. The colours are lovely.

The second one is especially good due to the shadows and the little chestnut thingies (:D) look almost alive; like field mice.

Very nice indeed, I love the golden colours...can't decide which one I like most ...its between one and two though. :D

[oldgit]

Love no#4 (Chestnuts?)
I suspect that you didn't find it just like that, but had to fettle a little?
(not that it matters - the result speaks for itself)

[Mohain]

Thanks for the comments :)

Oldgit (am I allowed to call you that? :eek: ) I rearranged the top right and bottom left leaf but I did find it nestled in a bed of leaves almost like that ;)

[oldgit]

It's been my nom-de-plume for many a year now. I've probably earned it.:thumbsdown: :thumbs:

Very nice set. Love that last one.
