[Note Guidelines] Photographer's Note
A little Hawaiian tree action perched atop a cliff in Kauai overlooking Hanalei bay.

I decided to have a little bit of fun with this one to make it interesting. I tone-mapped in Photomatix with an emphasis on bringing out the details in the tree branches. I then hit the shadows/highlights function in PSCS2 to bring out more detail and add texture to the grass. I actually desaturated a tad as I got a bit too much color out of Photomatix. This is the original crop, I then just adjusted the levels and called it a day. Enjoy!

It is say that "blue is always shadowy, and tends in its greatest glory to darkness. It is intangible nothing, and yet present as the transparent atmosphere. Beautiful, spiritual, landscape. TFS

Hello Jeremy,
I think that this picture falls on more than one mood. As I look at it, the tree is all by itself, and that conveys a lonely, depressive mood. But at the same time, the dark green tones and the clouds in the distance make it almost romantic looking.

Very interesting!
I really like the details and the diagonal slope of the hill/grass.
Nice shot overall.
