Photographer's Note
These massive redwood trees, their tops hidden in the mist, inspire and awe us with the grandeur of nature.
"Sequoia is a genus in the cypress family Cupressaceae, containing the single living species Sequoia sempervirens.

It is an evergreen, long-lived, monoecious tree living for up to 2,000 years, and is commonly considered the tallest tree in the world, reaching up to 116 m (378 ft) in height and 7 m (23 ft) diameter at the base. It is thought to be named after the Cherokee Indian leader, Sequoyah, though this is uncertain. ..."

Great angle and POV. It brings out the height of the trees. Thankyou for the background info. Only thing I would recommend is saturating the color a bit because I can tell the sky was gray and misty when you took the photo. Nevertheless, really beautiful! -Lara

Picture is too dark in the bottom and too light on the top. Color and light balance is not there.

marula,
i enjoy being in the redwoods as much as i can and also i understand how hard it is to get a clear day in the redwood groves. good composition to give us the scale of this massive giants. but i'd agree with lara, a bit of saturation will help this picture.

Hi Marula
I can see that your Sequoias are reaching the clounds and I think that this is the most impressive element in this photo. Thanks for this
cheers

Hi, Marula!
Yes, this is an american forest how I imagined it! But I didn't think that this picture was taken in California, I thought you made it in one of North states: looks foggy and gloomy! Very nice nature.
Best regards
Peter
