No pano, focus on those trees!!! I'm totally loving that set of trees man!! Tell me you got some close ups with the 70-200...

Ben, I shot the tree and imeddiately panned to the left just for pano sake so it is the tree the grabbed initially. I shot the whole grove of trees in the afternoon and morning fog.

Steve,

I like both of these. They remind strongly of some Dan Baumbach's work; sublte color and dynamic movement.

Just a thought, but you might consider accentuating the primary trees and bushes in both shots.

Nice work!

I like both images equally well, Steve. You captured great color in
wonderful light.

Beautiful comp! Looks like a remote jungle. Well done.

I like both, but agree with Ben. Those eucs are the real deal here. Nice light in the upper left though too. If you had said this was Patogonia, or some other exotic place, I'd of believed you.

Both are beautiful Steve. I think the pano look of the first is well deserving of a large print! And there is such great, intimate potential with this grove of trees! Great find.

Chirs, I've never been to Australia but that it feels like to me. Maybe because I liked Crocodile Dundee when I was a kid.

Preston, I see what you mean. I'll have to spend some time on again with fresh eyes.
