Sun setting thru some gum trees and lighting up some native grass on the outskirts of my suburb.

Enjoy.

Excellent composition Mikel. The way the grass is lighting up by the setting sun and that you've succeeded in capturing it that good make this to a great post.

What a great place to catch that light. I enjoy how far one can see in your vistas. Inspiring composition and the gold grasses top the cake.

Michel,

Once again, working in RAW has served you very well. Teh colors on this on are simply superb, the DOF stunning and the skies remarkable. The setting sun is nicely captured without over exposing the rest of the shot. Well done.

Wow.. i think its almost impossible to capture this.... to be logically, it is too dark to capture the gold grass but it is too bright to capture the sun.. Good work!!

Beautiful Mikel :))) It has a lot of depth, love the grasses in the foreground. The whole shot is wonderfully balanced. The rays from the sun really top it off...

Beautiful image. The sunlight has indeed turned the grasses to gold, an alchemical transformation even Rumplestiltskin couldn't replicate nor present with so much delight.

I've had this up on my list to comment on and haven't had the chance...like everyone said, lighting is absolutely unreal. The golden grasses are on fire from that sun. Straight on is a really tough way to capture the sun and its rays, but you did an awesome job. Really nicely done!!
