Best of All Lookout

When you emerge from the rainforest to a sublime view from Queensland down across New South Wales, you realise why they call it the Best of All Lookout. Here at Springbrook in the Lamington National Park, steam off the subtropical rainforest fuels the building clouds, and in the foreground flushes of pink new growth and blushes of pink and white flowers adorn the rainforest canopy.

I was going for a bright, expansive impressionistic rendering, with the square format drawing you in from a solid foreground to accentuate the depth and distance. The depth and size would be great to make a small room seem larger, but it's big enough to hold its own in a larger setting.
