A strand of macrocarpa trees overlook the dawn waters of the estuary at Toko Mouth (Otago, New Zealand) while the rising sun filters through their branches casting a subtle reflection across the placid lagoon.
From memory I have cropped from one of the sides to exclude a scene without any trees. I think I have also adjusted colours/contrast to enhance the orange glow. Clearly this was an older image due to these edits. Taken late 2006. I have considered darkening it to get rid of the green farmland in BG. Thoughts?
Not sure why but this was a hassle to fit into the 146KB file limit, even though scaled down to 800 pixels. Had to lower it further to decrease file size. Probably due to previous edits made with levels. Quality is now horrible.
Fujifilm Finepix S5600
ISO 200, 1/125 sec, f/3.4, 10x (380mm) optical zoom (exact focal length unknown)
Comments always welcome,
