I went out on Good Friday with intention of photographing Granite Bay in Noosa Heads NP, the predicted storm clouds never materialised so I had to work with a clear sky. I couldn't create anything I was happy with so I diverted my attention elsewhere and eliminated the sky completely. More info on my latest blog post.

I like the quality of light. Interesting bark formations.

Neil this is a strong composition, I can experience the roots anchoring this tree. The kind of chaos in the background helps focussing on these mighty branches and interesting textures of the bark. An appealing shot that keeps my attention!

I like the way the light and your comp has me drawn right in to this amazing tree. The green bg helps seperate it out. Nice shot, Neil.

Good strong subject and the vibrancy of the image is very enjoyable.

This is wonderful Neil. Excellent comp and grand details make it fun to really explore all the fine nuances of the image. Well done.

This is nice. The light on the subject tree keeps it warm and inviting while the cooler foliage helps the bg recede. Strong textual interest, also.

Interesting tree along with a very busy scene. It does achieve a degree of separation which helps it to be a nice focal point when viewing.
