    Default Acacia Tree

    Hey All,
    I took this some time ago. The light was really harsh and I thought it didn't work. Now, after some tweaks it seems acceptable. What do you think?

    Great shot, colors are awesome.

    Edit - I posted a critique but I was viewing it on my iphone, so it was way off

    I do see some artifacting in the ground and tree foliage and I'm guessing this may have been underexposed. That said, overall
    I think you've made some nice tweaks here and the colours seem acceptable for light this harsh.

    Thanks Marko. Yeah, it was not that easy to start with.

    It looks like the forum compressed this image, because I see some blocking. Aside from the forum messing it up it looks good.

    My only nit is the horizon does not appear level. Other than that lovely picture.

    That was actually what I said in my first post before editing the post. I was viewing it on my iPhone and it looked like it needed leveling because the curved bay in the background messes with it. I thought I looked good when I viewed it on my computer. I could make out the differences between the foreground and background.
