    This will benefit from a little bit of crop at the top, if you do not mind me saying so...very nice find...would be nice to have added a human element to this one even just to add a bit of drama to your shot...

    Interesting shot Ashish, well seen. I think Izzie might be onto something with the crop suggestion.

    Re: Circles in the forest!

    My first thoughts were for a very slight crop from the top, as Izzie has mentioned.

    Nothing wrong with the current image but slightly reducing the top seems to make the 'tunnel' appear longer. However, if you were to crop the top what to do for a balancing amount elsewhere? Possibly go square, although I suspect you could get away with taking a similar amount from the left side.

    Otherwise, this looks good with the potentially problematic bright spots being well constrained.

    Beautiful image. Geoff's crop suggestion great to me. The addition of a little off of the left to Izzie's a little off of the top would also eliminate a few bright leaves.

    That's some unusual foliage. Nice image.

    Looks good to me. Now we are looking into the 'tunnel' instead of getting distracted by the confusion of leaves above it.

    Nice adjustment of an excellent shot. Now... if you could just place Bilbo or Frodo on the road...

    Well! I did not expect to see more of the beauty of this shot, but I did! Now we can all think of being invited to go inside...solve the mystery of what we can truly find at the end of this path...you've nailed this one so very well. Good eyes for this beautiful place...Very well done!

    Re: Circles in the forest!

    Ashish, I agree with Izzie's first suggestion for the crop - i.e. from the top. The foreground of the original serves a good effect, leading the eyes through the tunnel. In my view, a square crop to remove only the top would put the centre of the 'tunnel' above half-way, enhancing that effect. (The bright leaves on the left can be toned down or cloned out.)

    Cheers.
    Philip
