First day with decent clouds that we've had in a while down here (winter not so great for landscape here). Taken about 45 minutes before sunset.

Post processing: Tone mapping from a single RAW exposure (the halo around the tree is intentional). A little bit of spot editing. Black and white conversion, channel mixer with 100% red. Levels for more contrast.

Very dramatic, and the shadows give it an almost "eerie" feeling, but I like that.

Absolutely outstanding. One of the best of this 30 day challenge! The perspective, range of tones, light, shadow. FABULOUS

Awesome stuff - the processing is fantastic - the shadows amazing and the contrast in the grass and sky just makes this thing pop
