Flat land with a red kangaroo., a photo from New South Wales, East

Photographer's Note

Please open both photos in new tabs for the better versions.
As we drove south along the Darling River it was mostly dead flat but with varying vegetation (so never boring) although the top photo here does have a low ridge in the background. Also in the top photo you can see a Red Kangaroo, the largest kangaroo species. This one is a big male and would be about 1.6 metres tall. The males are commonly know as "big reds" and can cover up to 8 metres in a leap.
In the lower photo you can see that the land here can get very soggy after rain or floods - the evidence of that is the white layer of salt between the plants.
In the WS is a photo that shows different vegetation, much with red leaves and one with silver leaves. That tree line in the background is where the Darling River is.
The photos also have fairly dramatic clouds - a prelude to rain that came later that day.
In the second WS is a photo of the not very exciting pub in the tiny town of Tilpa (Population of the town and district is just 44).

Lepi pogledi, interesantan tekst ...
Lepa dolina i drvece, dobro pokazano sa lepim bojama, kontrastom, perspektivom i uhvacenim trenutkom sa oblacima koji dolaze i najvaljuju promenu vremena.
Dobar rad sa lepim fotografijama u radionici.

Zelim vam lepo popodne za odmor, sve najbolje.

Hi Ian,this time a very rich post with 2 pics and a collage completely different from the same place,it need to open the large version to see well the kangaroo, and it's a very nice suprise. I like the 2 WS too,especially the call sign painted on the roof of pub! Have a nice Sunday and thanks,Luciano

Hi Ian,

The wideness of the field is giving depth to the composition. The point of view is showing the details of the field and of the trees. The cloudy sky is giving a good contrast to the colors. Have a nice day.

Hi Ian,

2 perfectly sharp images with good use of the rule of thirds and nice wide angled panoramic formats. The kangaroo is a bonus. Tfs!

Hello Ian,
It would have been more difficult to spot a red kangaroo if the animal was in the landscape with the red foliage.
Good idea to divide the space horizontally in the main photo in order to present the predominantly flat landscape with the trees standing far apart.
Best regards, Paul

Hello Ian,
I like the vastness of the flat lands in the main entry and one bonus photo. The "Tilpa Hotel" photo with its air strip frequency tells an interesting story.
