Challenge: Centered Composition III (Basic Editing)
Camera: Canon EOS-40D
Lens: Canon EF-S 17-85mm f/4-5.6 IS USM
Location: Melbourne, Australia
Date: Apr 5, 2008
Aperture: f/8.0
ISO: 100
Shutter: 1/200
Galleries: Landscape
Date Uploaded: Apr 8, 2008

 Photo taken on the outskirts of NW Melbourne. While driving I spotted a single tree in a field I thought ideal for the centered composition challenge.

PP - So much tweaking it's not funny. Played with almost every allowable (under Basic editing) setting in Lightroom. Temp, exposure, recovery, fill light, black clipping, brightness, contrast, clarity, vibrance saturation, NR colour... lum and sat on most of the colours up and crank up the hue on the green. Tone curves... lots on the highlights, a tad on the lights and a smidge down on the darks. Hours of mucking around til I got something close to what I had in mind when I took the photo.

I like this one quite a bit... I might have straightened the horizon out.

Love the saturation.

Great picture, I think it would have been more effective if you shot the picture horizontally, just so we could get a better sense of space. Awesome job though.

Great colors.

the composition is nice but the post-processing of the tree's green is harsh.
