Hi Chris, this is just lovely! I like that you used this beautiful tree as your focal point, it looks like a wonderful place to visit.
This is well focused, the image is clear, exposure is well managed, colors and tones appear natural, I like the way the tree trunk stands out allowing a good sense of its shape and structure. Well composed and presented!

Thank you Pat, it is a lovely place to visit any time of year!

Comment from Charlie Newman
Placement of the tree in the frame is nicely done with the main subject off center. The colors and tones are natural. Lighting, white balance and contrast all are well done.

Chris,
A beautiful picture of this beautiful tree in the Botanic Gardens in Melbourne in winter with autumn leaves creating a carpet on the ground beneath. The sunlight in the background glows through the leaves on the tall tree. Beautiful composition framing & lighting taken with superb camera techniques and sharp focus.
Susan
