SOOC perfection

Challenge #22 in the Thursday series. Hosted by Crappysnaps.

Challenge has finished

Stunning images that show your best natural lit scene or subject without the need for post-processing. I want the challenge to be about the ability to capture your vision at the time of pressing the shutter button, without additional processing after the shutter is pressed. Use of the in-camera tools are very welcome, providing it is done before the shot is taken.
