98 Acres

[anderson.council]

A bit different this. The day after we climbed Adam's Peak we were in a town called Ella which has a Small Adam's Peak and being greedy at collecting mountains called Adam's Peak we had to bag it :) The walk starts through a tea estate and this is looking over the tea to a resort called 98 Acres. I liked the contrast of the vivid green (immaculately kept) tea bushes against what looks like a storm building for later in the day.

Thanks for looking

Re: 98 Acres

I know Ella as well Scott. My brother in law was the Manager of the Ella Tea estate and I have enjoyed visiting him and his family there on my visits to Sri Lanka. A lovely part of the world and rather cold. You are bringing back my good memories!! A very nice shot and very sharp and colourful. Nice contrast with the sky.

Re: 98 Acres

Thank you Tom, Ian, Nat, Chris and Dave. Nat I understand it is cooler in Ella than elsewhere but it was still hot enough for me.

Re: 98 Acres

Interesting shot, I do think though that you are neither one thing or the other with the size, I think I would be tempted to crop some off the bottom to just below the grey bridge in the middle, make it a bit more letterbox??

Just a thought though, feel free to ignore.

Re: 98 Acres

So much detail and clarity. A lovely view Scott, like it just as it is.

Re: 98 Acres

Thanks Paul - the intent was to show the contrast of the tea with the sky and I think if I cropped out the bottom you wouldn't see the structure of the tea bush. Not saying I'm right, just how I "saw" it. BTW the grey bridge is actually the beginning of another resort building - ideally it wouldn't be there but I find reality intrudes all the time :)

Thanks Alan.
