    All I could look at was the way the trees tilted to the right. I copied it and straightened it and began to like it a lot. Personally, I found it more believable when I cooled it and added some contrast. Terrific composition.

    Don, thanks for the very thoughtful comments. I actually was going for dramatic color flare here and I calculated that it would work for a few but not for others. The sunburst and lighting on the trees is completely manufactured in PS/LR. It's analogous to a "harsh" HDR but only consist of the one exposure. In reality the shot is almost entirely green and the leaves in the foreground have essentially no color. Here is the raw file converted to JPG...
