Thank you Jan! Glad you like it! This one was my first proper prize winner! Vicki :)

Thank you Gaye! Glad that you like it! One of my faves! Cheers, Vicki :))

Thanks Jan, glad you like it! Did some minor editing on the image but nothing much, the general composition was as is! I suppose it depends on how much tweaking you mean! I get so confused sometimes with that! I am so glad that there wasn’t PS around years ago when was doing negs or I would have driven myself around the bend!!! Cheers Jan! I did PS my logo in – it wasn’t magically hanging there!!!! Funny thing that!! :))) Vicki

Thanks Ken, it is an unusual spot, called the “Coombabah Wetlands” and there is an amazing array of wild life and plants there. It has a sense to it, like you say! Cheers Ken, Vicki :))

Thank you Jan!!

Thank you Wendy, thus the title! You did so well to describe that! Maybe I should copy your description! This was the image that I won my first ever big prize with last year…. and the Gold Coast City Council will be using it, along with about 15 others. I will paste the link…. Ta Wendy! :)) Coming from you, a glowing report!!

Hi Michael! This is as is, bar some basic editing. It was afternoon light, side on, with soft grasses, low fstop (4.5) and I was close to the sheoaks! It is all in the original photo, bar the signature of course! It wasn’t floating at the base of the tree!! Thanks for the fave and am so glad you like it! Did you see the link above, where I won an award? I was chuffed, my first ever big award! Vicki :)))

Thanks Gina!! :)))

Thanks Barbara, this was my first photograph to win an award in a (proper) competition! Thanks for your kind words!

Thank you so much Lois! You are always such a breath of fresh air! Will you be my Cyclone Sister?!!! (I used to be called Cyclone Vicki…. as in, here comes cyclone vicki!! or “what just happened?”! LOL!)
Thanks for your kind compliments!!! CV! :))))

Ta Ginny!!!! :))

Thanks Drec! I imagine so, I haven’t been down there for a while – this in on the road to the AWL, is that where you mean? Did they close off the access there? And if so, why would they fence that area off? They get a fair bit of human traffic down that way. :)

Thanks Stephen!

Thank you Trish!!! :)

Ta terugvanver!!

Thank you Barbara! Yes, a wonderful place too! I need to go down there more often!! :))

Ta Kibishipaul! It was a low DOF and close so it created that effect! Thanks! :)

Thanks Lau!! And I was stoked! The Gold Coast City Council printed up postcards from this too! I was even more chuffed then!!! :))

Ta Anthony, glad you like this one! I was pretty happy with (see comment above!).... I was very surprised when i opened the envelope from the GCCC!! And stoked! As I was expecting it to be something dreadful!! :)))

Thanks clizzio! I am really glad that you like it! There was only very basic editing done here though! It was late arvo, sun behind the trees, to the right, and the grass looked so soft, with DOF…. must get down there and take some more – seem to spend too much time on the computer lately, rather than taking new photos! :))
