The Sheltering Tree

[bendle]

The cows use this tree to keep out the rain or the sun . Rain had just passed by.

This looks like an amazing place to shoot - where is it?

[bendle]

It is in a place called Neerim South Victoria Australia. There are many great places for photography like when the time and weather are right. Like most places i guess.

Let me join the queue of like.

i really like this, the sharp, contrasty tree with the cows a bit shiny from rain. The fading contrast towards the background, the haziness that really makes me feel the rain has just passed. The composition and also compression in this scene makes it all jump out.

Great stuff!

I wrote a lenghty comment on your talent for the bucolic topic. Some computer system ate it  for supper it seems.

I love the tree. By its form I guess it is made of more than one stem?

This is very very nice and I echo all the positive statements from above. But, (the big but), my nit is with the cropping of the tree. I would like to see either all the tree or less than what you have presented. The crop as shown looks more accidental than intentional.
