Stacks Bluff

Stacks Bluff is Tasmania's sixth highest mountain (elev. 5010ft).

This old tree provided an irresistible (half) frame.

Ahhhh, the hallmark of an excellent landscape, it makes me feel like I'm there with you when I look at this.  Beautiful color, detail, and depth... Mike

I rarely give sevens to landscapes, but it would be a sin not to rate this one with sevens, ha!

Hello Peter,

A textbook composition for this beautiful landscape. Everything fits. The colours look crisp and natural at the same time. As it should be. A well-balanced image throughout.

Kind regards,

Erik

Michael, Pierre and Erik,

Thank you very much indeed for your generous words.

On a number of occasions, I have been fortunate to capture something worthwhile by sheer coincidence, or just good luck.

The first time that I came across this tree and the great potential background, it was quite cloudy, mid-summer and bone dry = uninspiring.

The second attempt was under clear blue skies and turned out equally unrewarding.

On this third attempt, the following spring, everything came together very nicely!

Very nice - I have had to revisit sites a few times before getting something nice. Your persistence paid off.
