If the sight of the blue skies fills you with joy, if a blade of grass springing up in the fields has power to move you, if the simple things of nature have a message that you understand, rejoice, for your soul is alive. ~ Eleonora Duse
I usually post sooc or minimally processed photos but the colors seemed brighter (at least on my screen) when I used hdr. This is the sooc version and below is a link to the hdr version for feedback if you are so inclined.
Of the two, I prefer this sooc one, probably for its softness. That is often the case with my own photos, I'm finding... Those fronds look as though they are naturally soft, so perhaps that is another reason I prefer this one! Beautiful!
I like the picture and the quotation from Eleonora Duse. Love the softness and curving lines of the plant life! The HDR one strikes me as having a bit more contrast. Both versions are lovely.
