Hi, friend!
It is very interesting photo. I like your composition. I like your strong colours. I think only is little so dark. Beautiful sky. I love all your nature.

This is a good example of photo with well saturated, but not over-saturated colors. I think polarizing filter helped a lot.

The sky looks amazing in this shot. I didn't know the outback was so green, I always pictured it more as rocky and like a big desert. Great shot, tfs.

Hello Henk,

You were very fortunate to see the outback alive with colours like this. I like how the white of the ghost-gum tree trunks stands out. The green/orange/blue combinations are particularly vivid and spectacular. I know the colour saturations are far from natural but I do appreciate how much they accentuate the landscape so I agree that these levels are useful in that sense. The clouds have turned out very well with the use of that polarizer. I would love to visit Western Australia someday; it is so far away that it is almost another country to us Eastern-staters! Thanks for the photo.

Matt

Henk,
Your DOF and sharpness are great in this shot giving the photo nice crispness and detail. The lighting and colors are great as well. The polarizing filter worked well for you here.
TFS,
Asa

Lovely contrasty colours!

The puffy clouds give a 3D feel to the image. I think it's a pity the large cloud is behind the tree - it would be great if the right hand side of the photo is filled by the cloud instead as the RHS is featureless.

Hi Henk,

beautiful scenery well captured. I love the compo with a foreground tree and simmilar trees in the bacground. The sky with small puffy clouds is fantastic. I love how the colors of red soil and grass combine. Also fine sharpness and clarity.

Hello Henk
The magnificient dark blue sky tops the white ghost gum, the red soil and all the new growth. Well done, marlene
