First of: This is a marvelous beautiful photo Jo!! Just the kind I love. Not to mention how homesick it makes me... For that reason I personally have to give it full stars on impact. I can just feel the silence from anything human in this piece, and only hear the wind going through the branches and the small sound of a shy bird far away...
I am no photographer myself, so I can not give any critic on technique. It looks like the perfect shot to me. The contrast between the lights and darks are in balance, and the streak of light on the forrest floor leads the eye into the picture and beyond, but within the frame, if you get what I mean...
If I am honest this photo is not so original, there are plenty of forrest shots to be found amongst photographers. Although this stands out amongst them, because not all of them are so beautifully captured,cropped and displayed as this particular shot.
It feels like you really know your forest, and that you know where to be at what time to capture these golden glimpses when the forest shows of its best magical self. It feels like you are showing us one of your favorite places, and not just a random place you just happened to pass by. I know I would return to this magical place over and over again...
