Glad to be of any help.
I can now appreciate the digital adjustment, it really does make the lighting more interesting compared to the original. Good work on that.

I agree with you Matej that this image lacks a strong subject. For that reason, I find the composition weak.
Attached is the original file shrunk down to 500 px wide. What I like about cedar groves is the light I find there. Just a few feet from the edge of the forest, one is plunged into darkness.
It was this transition of light which caught my eye. Light is ellusive. Hard to pin down. Hard to photograph except as a quality of light upon a subject. I did look for something to pin my vision upon but there wasn't anything that stood out, so I took the picture anyway. Thanks for seeing the weakness in this shot and reinforcing my own concerns. Better luck next time, eh?

I would like to see the image prior to manipulation, because I can't really see the manipulation in this.
Also for someone who has no associations with that particular place, the photo lacks a main subject. The trees in the foreground are too dark and evenly distributed to be the main subject, and the forest in the background is too indistinct.
However, I think I can see some of the atmosphere you were trying to achieve. My suggestion would be to move a bit closer to the trees in the foreground, to get a clearer view of the forest beyond, while still having some of those dark trees there.

I like the contrast in this. It does look enchanted. Excellent find and fine composition.
