Woods, Critz, VA - on 4X5
Big fan of intimate landscape here. Starting out with a Maine woods photo is very Eliot Porter which pushes the right buttons for me. But these are not his style, but do come from a similar island habitat about 20 miles from his old woods.
4x5 fp4+ in pyrocat hdc. speed graphic alternating between Aero Ektar and 9" gundlach hyperion lenses. Ash Island, Owls Head Maine.

Gelatin-silver photograph on Freestyle Private Reserve VC FB photographic paper, image size 16.3cm X 21.4cm, from a Kodak Tmax 400 4x5 negative exposed in a Tachihara 45GF double extension field view camera fitted with a Voigtlander 21cm f4.5 Heliar lens.

Some wonderful images. Some I would consider more middle to far ground rather than intimate (up close and personal). But a few I much appreciated did have middle and distance views, but selective focus brought back the feeling of intimancy.
These are relatively up close (not as close as that great mushroom!) -- but perhaps intimate is not the right word for them! LOL!
Both 4x10 carbon prints.

I guess that I didn't realize that the definition of "intimate" was so specific, I've deleted my postings
Just personal opinion -- I even posted a couple I do not consider particularly "intimate", but close-up and in your face. Post whatever you consider to be intimate woodland scenes. The OP just suggested not "quite general and humongous".
