Not THE Black Forest, but a dark corner of woods, near Killin, which I visit quite often.

I never thought of it in that way, Fons, but yes - you are right.

I love lichen covered old growth.
You are out there. You and your camera. You can shoot or not shoot as you please. Discover the world, Your world. Show it to us. Or we might never see it.

Very nice Dave.

However, if you say "dark forest", you've either exposed or processed on the light side. IMHO of course.

Thanks to everyone for your comments.

Hans - I think perhaps I used the word "dark" to mean the mood of the place, as much as the tonality of the image.
