This is my first attempt at landscapes, it is a typical of mallee scrub down under, the fence wire is distracting I know, but I like it, its typical of the bush fencing.

C&C welcome.

I'd probably 'level' the shot first. Rather than the clump of dead weeds in the foreground, you could use the yellow flowers as a focal point. The taller eucalypts to the left would look better if you include the whole of the crowns.

Hope that helps.

I-berg have taken that on board,but the photo is full size so no chance of changing the perspective, I like the three trees in the centre, if I get up that way in the near future I will have a look at it.

thanks for that I-Burg

What iBerg said

Sorry Monty, but I'm afraid this one needs to be re-shot (in my opinion, obviously ). Apart from the tilting, bland sky and ugly wire, there doesn't seem to be a focal point. If it's those 3 tall trees in the centre-left then the yellow bush and the foreground dead weeds are competing (in a bad way) for attention.

This does not work for me I am afraid. The light is uninteresting, there appears to be no defined subject and the compositions is not great. Sorry if that sounds a bit harsh. Look for interesting light, subjects and composition.
