just a thanks to all the people who made comments on this photo. Sad to say, that during the week we had terrible winds pass through the district and this tree took literally , a battering. All of the top section and one side was blown off and there is not much left of it now, I somehow don’t think it will recover.

Oh my goodness! I had to scroll down forever to leave a comment!!! All your work is lovely and I love this image!!

Fabulous John. Terrific colours, composition and clouds.
How long ago was this photo taken? The grass is great.
John Conway replied
just checked EXIF and it says : Jul 04, 2007
I don’t need an EXIF to remind me that it was blowing a gale and despite the sunny conditions it would have been lucky to have been a double digit temp
Brendan J. Rob...
So perfect conditions to be out taking photos!

Mieke Boynton
Great to see your photo pop up as the “face” of a challenge in Mood and Ambience, John – love your Dog Rocks images. I hope to go there sometime (but I might be disappointed – I’ve seen so many incredible photos taken there that I don’t know if it can possibly live up to my expectations!!) Great shot :) :)
John Conway replied
Thanks Mieke (glad you told me about the dog rocks photo, I’m not even in that group, permission to use would have been nice too) :)

Great picture. I like realistic HDR work and yours is exceptional.

cheers James, you’ve probably noticed I do some ‘wacky’ HDR too, but I do agree, the more subtle the better
