Great composition Margie!...the diagonal works so well here and I love the way the light is hitting those leaves and turning them them golden like that.

Wow; your use of back/side light is really clever. The webs give the whole composition another aspect of interest too. Good find!

I really like this photo. It really gives me the sense of what a kauri tree is. Many photos may show the tree from a distance, but with one tightly cropped shot and a very clever perspective you reveal many truths about the tree. Very nice photo here. Great job!
