Jamil, what a wonderfully detailed image - gorgeous! IMHO the greenery below the image would benefit from some desaturation, this would balance the colour saturation in the entire image . Wow, I am amazed at the character in this fabulous old tree - well captured :-) #407505

Thank you Amanda at your very valuable advice , in fact I had desaturate the all but the trees will lose thier weight but with little saturation it is more detailed and keeps it's character , thank you and very much appreciate #2524702

This is a marvelous capture, Jamil! I can emphasize with you trying to capture the detail in the grass and trees, and all your efforts being over riden with the brilliant background. These trees have such an imposing character. #2917368
