Wow Louise, this is splendid. Amazing composition. The touches to the grass and highlights in the upper right portion of the image lead the eye right into the photograph. Really remarkable.

Beautifully done, tree flesh. The gentle colors, splash of blue, and intimacy of the place are inviting.

Louise, I don`t know what Melaleucas are… they remind me a bit of cork trees after they are stripped. But by the fact that you have so eleoquently captured them and described them so passionately, they must be special. Your dreamy processing makes their environment so peaceful an appaealing… the perfect place for me to chill out when I come back down to earth after my stay at your 10 star beach in “Just Paddling”. Louise, I love where your work takes me!
