photo taken from the firetrail in the evening ..
sue/ivory asked wot the firetrail was .. i live on land that borders the burragorang national park which incorporates the sydney water catchment area .. this firetrail and others, not only give accesss to the water catchment area, but allow heavy equipment and the firefighters into the national park .. hence the name firetrail .. the firetrail is called the sheays creek firetrail and it goes right past my front door...
Lovely composition. Neat tree. Keep this one in mind for the tree composition. It's cool. I love the colors and the cows and the beautiful structural tree.
They have all that nice green grass and they eat bark? Getting a bit of roughage, maybe? In your post processing, do you use sharpening at all? A wee bit (not too much) would add a bit more definition, though I do tend to leave my pictures a little soft as well. Very nice light when you took this, too.
How interesting! And you're right: You ARE blessed to be surrounded by such beauty! This is so pretty! I love the cows! I didn't know cows ate bark! I knew elk did, but cows?? Maybe that's just Australian cows :) Texas cows are probably too dumb to know the tree bark is good too. Or on 2nd thought. . .it may be the stubby, prickly Texas trees too.
This is areally interesting shot. I like the cows and the bottom part of the tree in the shade and the top of the tree in the sun. For some reason, other then what I said, it is really a great picture!
