Yesterday after work I made a trip out to Balls Head Reserve, or at least near it in order to see the sunset. Missed a bit of it but still was able to get a good view of the changing light.

Also got this photo.

This is dramatic and moody. Perhaps striking due to the contrast between the tree being in silhouette and the sky having intense colour. Probably could’ve framed the tree better, but I think it works as is.

This is my submission into the two hundred-and-twenty-eighth Lens-Artists Photo Challenge. The theme for this one is “Diagonals“.

I think this counts due to the branches predominantly being diagonal to some degree.

The host of the Lens-Artists challenges cycles weekly between the following people:

Week 1 – Tina

Week 2 – Patti

Week 3 – Ann-Christine aka Leya

Week 4 – Amy

Week 5 – John Steiner

Week 6 – Sofia Alves

Week 7 – Anne Sandler

Week 8 – Guest host

This one is curated by Patti. Leya curates the next one.

I recommend participating in the challenges. They’re open enough to allow for a fair bit of thinking about approach and closed enough to keep focus on meeting the theme of each one. If you don’t participate, you should still check out what others of the Lens-Artists community are submitting.

I hope you enjoy.
