G'day all,

just wanted to get your views of this shot. Was taken by a mate when he was in NZ last year. He asked me to post it up for him for your critique and comments. So be nice and tell me what you think and I will pass it on.

Colours, sharpness and exposure all look great.

only thing i think lacks is the composition. I think maybe if one of these thins were brought into the 1st third mark and maybe selectively focused with a shallow dof it may have had more impact, then have the image lead out with the other plants slowly lead oof. Or maybe even a diagonal comp. ??? dunno

ANd where in NZ did he go??

stil a very nice shot
