Agree - some wonderful colours in this set Hans.  Nice to see the northern transition from spring into summer.

Thanks Bent and Hugh for stopping by and commenting, i appreciate that.

Yeah, spring is really coming, no denying that (even though it's raining cats 'n' dogs while i type this ).

More good shots. I like both the trees w/shallow DOF and trees w/deep DOF.  Shallow DOF is more difficult; one needs more space between photographer and tree.

Thanks much Keith. Yeah, i was practicing a bit with various levels of DOF. I'm glad you liked some of those

Time for another installment. Tried for some different views and compositions from most of the previous images here. Hope you like.

Went just before sunset, ended quite a bit after

Very nice images indeed, worth to visit this area at some point ;)When using leaves or 'other' up close to blur the foreground I use the old mantra; Get closer - As close as possible to really blur them out completly

Thanks Erik for stopping by and commenting, very much appreciated!

This area is certainly worth a visit, but some other activities next to this should be in order, it is such a small area 

[Lars Hansen]

Another fine series - I especially like the mood in the last two images.

[HCS]

Thanks Lars, much appreciated.

For me, especially the mood of the last one is something that i haven´t seen often in this area. I mean, with the moon being out, but still the last remainder of sunset touching the birch tree.

[Hugh_3170]

Agree.  The inclusion of the moon shot is a good reminder of how a scene changes in the low light hours and the opportunities that this presents.

Another fine series - I especially like the mood in the last two images.

[HCS]

Thanks much Hugh! I really appreciate you stopping by and commenting.

[Akira]

I also like the atmosphere of the very last one!

[John Geerts]

Nice series again, Hans.  I also like the mood in the last image.

[HCS]

Thank you very much dear Akira and John! I am glad you like (some of) the pictures.

I happen to like the last one quite much myself.

The second one is great. The last, with the Moon, is sublime!
