Love the grain on this image, it gives if an almost dry African bush feel and the fertile green grass make it more interesting to look at well done. As for your composition i feel it was well balanced, i can tell this by how long my eye moves around the image instead of just staring at a single spot, my eyes enjoyed looking around this image, good job. As for the real use of photography (manipulated with PS or not)This image of a first growth tree appears realistic and true, not fake and sooped up. Thank you for posting this Joe
Yeah its a cool shot. Makes it look as if its an old photo you found in your Grandparents attic or something. Nearly expect to see the Black and tans trndling down the lane in the background :)
