I was saving this picture for my grand finale, but just found out I must go away at the end of the week so you're getting it now.. I think this picture is going to make it to my wall.

Yep, definitely a wall hanger and the small size doesn't do it justice, looks much better the in the larger size. See you when you get back, I leave at the end of the week myself for a week with my sons.

Michele, Okay, let's skip the Australian Tourist Bureau. Who needs them? This photo just makes me want to pack my duds and head your direction. What glorious beauty! You eye moves from plane to plane with each level just delighting the eye. It is so deserving of a place on a wall! See when you get back.

Michelle this absolutely one of the best photographs I have ever had the pleasure to lay eyes on.
Composition,colour, depth(as opposed to DOF)exposure everything is spot on.
Thanks for sharing.

Hi Haywood and thankyou, and thankyou for your concern. No, I'm fine, my husband came home at lunch time and announced we were going to visit his sister (1,200 klms away) we have been going to go for a long time but one thing after another comes up to stop us. I guess he just decided we should just go. Looking forward to it actually they own a cattle station, I'm sure there will be plenty of photographic opportunities.

Thankyou Lindy, the original in the camera looked very dark and I thought I had messed it up, what a surprise I got when I changed the exposure a little bit.
