Interesting cool dark look on those tree trunk closeups in general, quite unlike anything I've photographed in Colorado or Hawaii. the shots of the overhead canopy of leaves is less successful I think--I've been struggling with very similar compositions for years and none seem to adquately convey the sense of luminosity that I get in person but I think that if you can get someone to hold a big black cloth in the background while letting sunlight stream in from the side that might do the trick! I'm not singling out your site for particular criticism when I say this but lately either my eyes are going bad or typfaces on websites are going really small--the webmaster link on the bottom of the pages is just about 1.5mm high on my monitor, and blue-on-black looks great but is murder to read. I have a late-model 19" Sony set to somewhere around 1200 x 1000 I think (it's been awhile since I did the setup). I am using whatever version of XFree86 (3.3.1-something) that shipped with Red Hat 6.1 along with a newish Enlightenment window manager. Monitor color temperature is set to 5000K. Yeah I could set the monitor for lower res but some sites really do seem to need all the real estate they can get.
