Leanne Averill, Under the Blossom Tree (CREATIVE 2022)

It felt like a little touch of Tuscany as I photographed these children playing under this tree in full blossom. The old stone buildings and lush gardens on a rainy afternoon in the Yarra Valley was the perfect backdrop for this painterly image. A dozen or so images stacked and their opacity tweaked allows the essence of this lovely spot to be captured.
