Although the picture itself is breathtaking, my favorite part of this one is the beam of light in the top right hand corner, it's so fitting!
Amazing.

i love that there's a little blur on the tree's leaves, makes it seem like it's silent but not entirely motionless.

Amazing shot !
Could you explain me what is the point in having such a small aperture and a long exposure ?

Glad you like it!
I like to place the focus on the part the subject requiring emphasis - and here the subject is a forest - so the small aperture allows the whole scene to look in focus. Naturally, a longer exposure is required to compensate for the reduced light coming through the lens. Also, when the sun is included in the picture, a small aperture tends to reduce the reflections on the glass surfaces (inside the lens) as well as making the sun look more like a star.

The difference between an okay shot and a really good one, is often in the lighting, I think you really have a handle on good lighting...thats another really great shot !

It looks magnificent! Like something you'd find in a storybook. It makes "Magic" an appropriate title for it indeed. ^^
I really love the different shades of green in this shot. And the bright stream of light that crosses the entire picture. Well done!
