AUSTRALIA ~ The Antipodes

AUSTRALIA ~ The Antipodes
I love a sunburnt country / A land of sweeping plains / Of ragged mountain ranges / Of droughts and flooding rains / I love her far horizons / I love her jewel-sea / Her beauty and her terror / The wide brown land for me / ~ Dorothea Mackellar (1885-1968)

Nice picture, nice gesture.
It looks special in B&W but maybe I'm biased.

Lovely angel and works so well in black and white.

Beautiful shot. simple, elegant and full of emotion. Were you using a dream filter for it, or did you add the blur in post production? Either way, it's an exceptional offering!
