Beautiful. Wonderful contrast between the rough, defined, dark oak and the softer, muted, hazy white of the birch. (Sorry if I've botched the names.) Great composition to show this off as well.

Comment by Bear_Music:
Nit-pick time; the actual Frost quote is "The woods are lovely, dark and deep..." with only one comma. The woods have two qualities; "dark and deep" is seen as a single quality in support of "lovely". With the second comma, "dark" and "deep" are separated into distinct attributes, not what Frost intended.

None of this impacts my judgment of the image (it's quite nice) and you may not care at all, but in case you do... :-)

Oh wow, this is divine. I love how the white trunked trees are like ghosts. Very ethereal. The dotting of the ground with the leaves is really beautiful. 8

More misty than dark, but definitely lovely. The big, old tree in the foreground is a perfect foil to the softer woods behind.

Comment by blindjustice:
points for a Frost reference, (technically Frost never wanted the comma between dark and deep, because the "dark and deep" was to describe why the woods were "lovely." not that they were also dark and deep.) but, I dig your secondary row of birches. and the fog is mysterious.

Doing his job well, then! Nice detail; might dodge a bit on the face/eyes.
