Both very nicely rendered. Love the dappled light in 1st, but the detail showing in 2nd is beautiful Matt.

Number 2 for me, but I agree the light in the first is pretty nice.

Thanks guys ... same position (almost) different lenses ....

I'm definitely partial to the second one. I love those trees, so much character.

Dappled light is tricky and often distracting....I favour shot 2 here.

Yeah shot 2 for me too. Love the detail.

One more for shot #2. Looks kinda like a lizard!

I favour shot 2 as well
