I am drawn not only to the beauty within a scene, but am careful to include beckoning elements of light/shadow, repetition and depth. Scenes chosen revolve around a dance of light/shadow and its own sense of invitation to explore; pathways are common to include for this reason. Quiet, hidden, reflective/introspective....lush; these are things I look for. I am polarized by scenes that make me forget my troubles and I feel "enveloped", even if just for a moment. 

Dappled sunlight filters through the trees, casting long shadows on the leaf-strewn forest floor. The vibrant mix of greens and earthy tones creates a sense of depth and tranquility, inviting viewers to step into the serene woodland scene.
