Just Another Tree
A lonesome tree on top of Mt Wellington, Auckland.
This pic looks a bit fake to me, I'm not sure why - I didn't do anything different than usual!
This photo was taken on June 6, 2008 in One Tree Hill, Auckland, Auckland, NZ, using a Canon EOS 350D Digital.

perfect.
zoom in tight (59 months ago | reply)
Fake as in how can any scene be this perfect? How can the grass be this green and lush? How can the lighting draw us in so quickly and try and keep us there? Fake in the beauty of the clouds and the apparent SWEEP of the sky?
If this is fake, bring it on and let me have it in my photos, too!
Fraggle Red (59 months ago | reply)
I wholeheartedly agree with zomm_in_tight. This is absolutely AWESOME! The colors of the grass and sky and how the clouds sweep across the sky and draw you attention to the gorgeous lonesome tree... ABSOLUTELY BRILLIANT!
Have a great weekend, Chris.

Awesome colours, great view, great shot! I see what you mean about the fake but it's not overdone and certainly doesn't take away from the shot, looks like HDR!
