Briliant.It looks like a story of thousand nights and one night.
The girl Arises as a dawn and your greatness does not overcome the greatness of the enchanted forest. Very good master piece. Sorceress.^.

I love this, the way the tree draws the eye dow to the girl. Also, I would love to see Angkor Wat. Well done!

She gave a great sense of scale to the tree's roots and the architecture around her. I like this shot!

The roots looke like fingers creeping down to catch the un-suspecting girl.

The little one was a surprise. Funny to discover her amid those massive shapes.

Very intriging shot. The perspective between the roots and the girl suggests a story in the making.
