More fall colors
Maybe this is OT since it's from NZ :wink:

I've slowly been editing my way through images from a month-long New Zealand trip last April (autumn in NZ); here's one I came across that I kinda like.

Your thoughts?

Ay, yeah, that's the bloody spirit, mate! Cool colors and perspective too.

Nice low angle shot and beautiful color. Interesting how the seasons are opposite from here. Great line and perspective also. Fine shot Nat.

I really like your wide angle composition.

I like the low angle you chose here emphasizing the colorful leaves and grass.
The graceful branches frame this very nicely. Burning down the bits of bright sky peeking through the branches just a bit would be an asset, IMO.

I love your choice of ground-level perspective here, Nat. This is really sweet!

I really like the perspective you took this image at. My eye is drawn right down the road. Very nice!

This is beautiful, Nat. I really love the comp. As a matter of personal taste, I'd bump up the contrast and saturation just a little bit, but that's just me.

What's not to love ... you've turned this scene into a real winner. Very fresh.

Very nice. I'd like to see it big!
A tight crop of some of the foreground leaves might make a nice abstract/intimate.

Very nice use of contrasting colors and perspective for your composition. Great shot.

It is very stunning how you maintained such a wide depth of field. Really an exciting and compelling image.

Thanks for the comments everyone! Rich - yep, this is a side road off of the Forgotten World Highway.

Did you see that area? Pretty neat.

@Nat - Gotta be next time. This trip was SI only (minus an overnight in Auckland). Cant wait to share your shots and experiences when we get together at the shindig.

I like the low perspective; not to mention everything else.
