Original - Panoramic view across the Mt Buffalo plateau, with Buffalo's highest peak, The Horn (1,723 m), towards image right; the safety railing for walkers can be seen at the top. The large number of dead trees visible resulted from the 2006-07 Victorian Alps Fire Complex which significantly impacted Mt Buffalo
Reason
High quality image giving a pretty good feel for the Mt Buffalo plateau and its highest peak, The Horn, at the end of summer. Good colours, good clarity. Beyond the ridges is a sheer drop down to the valley, which was unfortunately filled with clouds on the day, visible coming up behind the rocks, so I was basically above the cloud level (not that it alters what you'd see here).
