Welcome Sunset

While up in Taree for a miniature horse we caught up with Nathan =mental3pal and took us out to his school to show us one of his favourite views.

To take this shot we needed to clamber through a farmer's fence and wade into a dam - luckily I was prepared and had some gum boots with me.

I was keeping a watchful eye out for any snakes while I was standing knee deep in the dam amongst the reeds! Danni kept herself amused by watching how much trouble we took with our shots and probably quietly chuckling at how stupid we looked.

I bracketed 3 exposures for this scene and then fused them with photomatix pro before making slight levels adjustment and sharpening for presentation.

The sunset was very welcome has it had been an extremely hot day.

Nathan has already submitted a similiar shot
