that tree again Photo

Photographer’s Note

I was sifting through the photos of Australia already on the site, and having just returned from a month out there was itching to post something from my travels. I saw Jemm's photo (http://www.trekearth.com/gallery/Oceania/Australia/West/Northern_Territory/Kings_Canyon/photo220436.htm), and had to post this one - we photographed the same tree! Not so surprising when you realise this is on a marked walk around Kings Canyon.... but still, nice to see I'm not the only one who just loves this type of tree :-)

Hello Gwynne,
Very good sky and quality lighting on the tree too.
But I find the bush in front rather imposing - it just blocks the bottom of the tree way too much.
Photographing this tree with a different PoV would help.
And I have to say I prefer 'Jemm''s picture because it gives a clear view of tree with the same great sky and background.
Anyway, thanks for sharing.
regards,
Cheukhin

Hey Gwynne,
You did a good job. This is you way to see this view.
Nice colours of sky, ground and tree.

No matter how tourity a place is, people take different pictures with different light, so it is always nice to compare. And yours definitely catches the eye. Great exposition and sharpness, and the sky looks beautiful. Nice work,
Marie

Nice shot. Polarizer gave nice colors and contrast. The tree is too centered, and maybe the bush on the foreground should be avoided. As it seems to be an open field, I wonder if this composition would be even better if you were some steps to your left, so that you could show all the tree. But it's an impressive image anyway.

Hello Gwynne,
A nice composition with the several lawers, the nice clouds and the tree.

Hi Gwynne,
Very nice picture from this tree - the polarizer made it more colorful with the nice sky and the white clouds.
Congrats,
