The Uplifting...
A lone tree on the hill at Rendelsham, near Millicent – Limestone Coast South Australia.
Amazing spreading and uplifting clouds made for a good back drop. Maybe it’s what nature is all about, putting healing oxygen back into our world…..

Whoa! Super cool composition/capture here Steve!
Steve Chapple replied
Thanks Shelly, had to run around in the paddock to try and get the angle right and unfortunately had to leave the tree almost central – it was the only way this one worked.

An extraordinary composition, Steve – it really does look as though the tree is breathing into the sky! The effect is really enhanced by the monochrome treatment.

Wonderful shot! Your running around “in the paddock” (some of us have NO idea what a paddock is—LOL) surely paid off!

Thanks Kevin, paddock – field – farming block. I was at a mates small farm holding and we often refer to ‘running around the paddock’ when out in the farm utility checking stock or the property.
