What an interesting and unique landscape shot David! Excellent contrasts between the dry grassy area and the tropical look of the mid-section, and then the blueish mountains beyond. And I really like how that left tree and broken down branch adds to the composition. Full of amazing colors, textures and details. Great for the theme too!

Well - all that Pat says is what I say. The sharpening is if anything bordering on overdone. However I wouldn't change it I can forgive the slight edginess around the leaves and grass because it lends a 3D aspect to the picture so that I feel I could walk around between the fallen Eucalypt branch and the hedgerow. But what I like best believe it or not - is the top of the cottage just peeking over the brush.
Just a suggestion for another picture as this is close by - next time you are there, try a shot similar to this viewpoint but making the Eucalyptus tree (bark and leaves), the main focal point while allowing the same background to soften only a little into slight subordinacy.
An excellent image once again David.

I like the natural "V" shape formed by the branches of the the tree .. one going up and the other broken down and the roof of the cabin fits nicely in between .. because you can only see a small bit of the cabin that enhances the viewer perception of "what does the rest look like".Sharp front to back with nice exposure David

Hello David.
Yes, always take care with sharpening when lots of leaves (grasses, or raw sand is in the picture. it shows unnatural when it is too sharp.
But sure it also depents on what monitor it is seen.
Best regards from Jan

Pat and Vic have pretty much covered what makes this such an attractive image. I, too, like seeing the top of that cottage. Nicely done, David.
