Judges' Comments
Outstanding forest layout!!! Powerful and realistic. Strong shadows, many point of interest that can be good or not good depend on the point of view. For me, very good. The only improvment is the best valorization of the foreground, that is too flat and paralel with the front glass. But anyway, one of the my favourite layout of the year! My sinceres ongratulations!

I particularly appreciated this work for its naturalness and biodiversity, the richness of detail in the various focal planes.
