Morning Spotlight

This is a beautiful piece, certainly in contention for one of your better works here! I particularly love how you have captured several different hues of the light and they vary across the colour gradient from light to dark (if you're going from right to left). Conversely, the shadow on the far right makes for a superb contrast that highlights the effect of the sun shining through the trees.
There is an element of magnificent mysticism from this lovely shot and once again you have impressed with another breath-taking image of how amazingly gorgeous Nature is.
That having been said, I only wonder if the lighting is entirely natural, or was there some digital manipulation? Either way, a fantastic, truly praise-worthy shot!
