Another one from the Royal National Park, just down the river from Audley Wier...

I realise I've way over done the sharpening (made worse by the jpg compression) - so you don't need to tell me that

.
I've also done a similar job on levels to the flower shot, and would appreciate more feedback on this look.

12-24DX @ 14mm, f7.1 1/15sec ISO200

hmmm, I prefer the flower shot. For me, this one has no real centre of interest, the foreground clutter is distracting, and the light background doesn't blend in at all. And as for the over sharpening, well I ...oh, sorry.
I can see the potential of this subject, but it just doesn't work here.

No need to duck

Thanks for the 'frankness' Frank

I know it's not a brilliantly composed shot, am more interested people's feelings on the colouring really. I'm experimenting with upping the saturation and colour separation, and am quite enjoying the results (although the learning process is a little hit and miss).

Took a quick look at this this morning and it didn't grab me, but had to go off wine tasting :lol:

I've now come back and it still doesn't do it for me. Like Frank I think it's let down by the subject matter, but the PP doesn't help either since everything has a similar tonality when the tree trunk needs to jump out more.

I would add a bit more contrast to lift the tree from the background.......
