Hi Jessica, the countryside is quite attractive up north, isn't it? A sister farmed in the Bay of Islands for many years and as a child I had every school holiday up there. Even now we often go visiting another sister in Kerikeri.
Your composition is good here Jessica - you are showing us the 1/3 sky and 2/3 land, and it looks perfect that way. The grass is very green, this was before the rains stopped and we had a draught up there.
I like what you show us here, thank you...

Beautiful, beautiful greens, Jessica! It has the look of a recent rain, and I love the "smoke" rising from the mountains, and as you said, the light breaking slightly through the clouds. And yes, the fence is very important to the composition.

Well done!
Gayle :)

Dramatic clouds hovering over this lush green landscape... Very pleasing image!
Good lines in the composition, the fence in front really makes this one!

Hi Jessica,
Excellent shot! The composition is really good with the use of the fence in the foreground, and dramatic clouds in the distance. Exposure looks great with the nice saturated colors. Beautiful landscape!

Gorgeous scene and a wonderfull shot. I like the compostion and the large view of greeness. No wonder "The Lord of the Rings" scenes are filmed in NZ . TFS, Giap.

Beautiful landscape Jessica, never been to New-Zealand but when I think of it that's exactly what I think of. Good atmosphere, good sharpness, and very good colors. TFS !

beautiful picture Jessica. Your title sums it all: wonderfully green... Re: the exposure on the clouds; a neutral density gradient filter (0.3-0.9ND) is an effective way of holding back the sky while maintaining high exposure on the foreground. great job!

Hello Jessica!
Hope you had a pleasant journey in Middle Earth (^_^)
I wondered why I did not see that one before!
Normal we were in Cuba when you psoted it!
I am eager to see the others of your voyage!
Great composition. You add this keep the fence, otherwise the picture would have missed a subject in the foreground.
Cheers!
