Green Tea Sunset

The composition here is excellent. Sun is placed just right and I love the merging lines! Well executed my friend.

$Green Tea Sunset by /\ltus.$

My personal favorite shot of the whole trip is this one, only because the sky at sunset had this beautiful orange glow as we drove through rows upon rows of Green Tea shrubs growing on the high plains of Shizuoka prefecture.

Pulled the camping car along side the road to get this 5xp freehand HDR shot taken in the afternoon on the second day of our 4-day camping car weekend.

Shizuoka prefecture, Japan.
