[Note Guidelines] Photographer's Note
Near the Quilete Indian Reservation inside Olympic National Park are several amazing beaches. One such beach (posted previously) was only accessible via a mile or so long trail through the coastal forest. Near to the beach was this clearing where enough light finally allowed me to take a decent photograph. I was especially intrigued by the unique curvature of the pines here. Clearly some force of topography, wind or water is at work here shaping these plants.

There is bad overexposure at top-center but I lack the necessary tools to remove it (i.e. Photoshop)
Perhaps someone can workshop it or give me some advise for editing these issues post-shot.

This shot shows very well those forests in Olympic National Park.
I'm not expert in technical issues. But I guess that overexposure is very difficult to remove or to fix in post-processing (or edition). If a photo is darker you can put more light on it. The contrary is more difficult.

The note gives a good background, hovewer the photo itself isn't really remarkable - partially because of overexposure and I think the POV could be better here.

Well, I tried a WS for you.
