Heng Wang, THE LAND HOLDS LIGHT (Australia - Entries close 30 January 2027)

Taken near Lake Eildon in Victoria’s High Country in the late afternoon. I liked the warm light across the hills, the cattle scattered through the paddock and the reflection in the water. Fujifilm GFX100S, GF35–70mm F4.5–5.6 WR at 70mm, 1/50 sec, f/8, ISO 64. Processed in Capture One with minor adjustments to exposure, highlights, contrast and colour.
