Rustic country

This was the original working of the rustic country scene that I rejected in place of the “lean left, lean right” image.

I now prefer this image because of it’s warm colours & intimacy.

Taken near Yarram in the Gippsland area of Victoria, Australia.

I agree with Garth – and I just love the warmth from this – oh! and the sheep really add extra character. Great shot Michael.
Michael Matthews replied

Thanks Sharon. Great minds think alike ! I just added this one to the calendar. I’m glad I caught this scene before the shed fell down.

Great colours and tones Michael ,lovely framing and scene
Michael Matthews replied

Thanks Trudi. I’m hoping this version becomes more popular than the wider “less intimate” version.

It is a wonderful shot Michael, I love the warm light and colours.
Michael Matthews replied

Thank you very much Sharon & thanks for the favouriting. I tried this in full sepia but preferred these warmer, country colours.
Sharon Mau

Aloha Michael, it is so good to hear from you :))
I haven’t seen the other version. The tonality of this image is wonderful. I love the light.
