He's most known for 'the kiss', but this particular series is my favorite. 'Farmhouse with birchtrees' is so simple and yet it takes you right there. As if you are walking towards it yourself. The perspective is lovely and you share that quality. I love the colors and the fog in your picture as well!

It's very humbling to be compared to an skilled artist, thank you for that. How I began to shoot forests and trees with this composition came when smartphones started to have optical zooms. Huawei P30 Pro was the first with an optical 5x zoom (if I remember correctly) and it gave me new ways of composing images. I have been shooting with DSLR for a long time, but with it I mainly used wide angle lenses. I always wanted to try and achieve this kind of an idea that the viewer is in the "depth of the forest" or that you could sense the dimensions and volume some how better, I feel like using zoom instead of wide angle works better for that goal!
