Thank you. Maybe this came from looking at photos by the late Tasmanian wilderness photographer Peter Dombrovskis, and realising that his signature thing was to make a prominent foreground object the main subject, then rather than make it out of focus against the background - which is the modern trend - to stop down and make the depth of field as wide as possible. So you end up with everything in focus, but a big foreground leading to a small background. Toss in my penchant for catching the setting sun (I've only realised this by looking back at my own photos, as far back as my mid-teens) and ta-da. I'm not totally happy with it though; should have had a bit more sky at the top. And to prove I didn't screw around with it much, I didn't edit out that little green blob, which is the Sigma lens flaring.
