early morning ..
resized and saved for web ...
increased the sharpness to 5 in camera . 'default' is 3 ... increased contrast 3 increments and increased saturation 2 .. think i overdid the contrast ...
IMO gum trees make very unattractive subjects!!!

Great composition and love the lighting on the trees. Have you tried to convert this to black and white to see what it looks like? I'll be looking forward to seeing how you edit this!

I agree with what's been said; some greater material here. I like the trees, and the contrast might be up a bit, but I find that easier to deal with. A higher aperture here might have brought more into focus (the tops of the trees to the right should be in sharp focus, but don't seem to be). Was this an early morning/late evening shot? I'm wondering about a shutter at 1/20 with an aperture of f/8 during daytime (even in cloudy weather). Did you have the polarizer on again? That drags light down significantly, and would explain the slow shutter. Can't wait to see it edited; I might increase the saturation a bit and try to brighten the greens a bit.

Great light in this one. And yes, a bit more sharpness in processing should add some life and kick to it - maybe take out a WEE bit of yellow. Or not - I'd not know without seeing it.

a nice shot. i think a vertical shot, with more sky, would have been a more dramatic composition. perhaps check the focus - with in camera sharpening, this should be sharper, i think. also, try resizing in incremental steps, that seems to help sharpness. nice colour, and the sky will be great with some bumping.

I like the dramatic lighting of this photo. I bet if you play with it you can do some amazing things.

I like it contrasty like you have it. That looks good to me with the dead wood in front of the live in high contrast.

Well, they may be unattractive to you, but you seem to be doing well with them - and deservedly so!!! Also , you are way ahead of everyone! I just posted my first day and you had already posted your second day, Miz Speedy. :o)

The photo - I love it. It looks like there is something mysterious in those woods... and the foreground of grass is nice, too.

I think they're interesting trees (I guess that's because we don't have them here!). I like how they look part dead and part living. I like the light in this photo.

Interesting how you upped the sharpening in camera but it still is not sharp.
