    The colours are just amazing in this. Was there any photo enhancement done?

    No photo enhancement done what so ever. I was shot on Fuji Velvia 50, which as you all would know was a saturated positive slide film. I used to love shooting on that stuff. Was the best for landscapes and sports like surfing. I also used a polariser, which again everyone would know does make the colours slightly more vivid.

    We had been experiencing a drought just before I shot this image, and then after a dump of rain, the grass grew from dust, which is another reason for the rich colours. From memory it was shot in Autumn which is a great time of year in NSW, you get nice clear skies with minimal haze or mist. All of these factors created this photo, plus of course my trusty old Canon EOS 1N film camera….!!! Have to admit its been a long time since I used that one!

    I love that it was taken on film. There is so much beauty around us. In this digital age we sometimes forget it is there for us to see without digital enhancement or manipulation if we only pay attention!

    Oh, this is a magical image. I love the vibrant colours. A very lonesome tree though :-)
