Rich, I like lone trees. I see a lot of them. I concur with Dave's description. 
Dave, great colour and focus. I think it is one of the Gerbera family
Gerbera species are tufted, caulescent, perennial herbs, often with woolly crown, up to 80 cm high. Leaves are all in rosette, elliptical with entire or toothed margin or lobed, petiolate or with a petaloid base, pinnately veined, often leathery and felted beneath. Single to several flowering stems from each rosette.
No enhanced clouds in this. Comes from a place between Hay, Hell and Booligal. There was a pub called The One Tree, that is still there though no longer in use. It is the only building near the Cobb Highway on the One Tree Plain.

This is my part of the world.

The bold sign at Gordon Paterson's front gate has been stolen three times, and featured in many photos taken by passing motorists.
The 76-year-old owns Hells Gate, a property that stretches over more than 13,000 hectares on the flat Hay Plain in New South Wales.
Mr Paterson told Landline the sign has prompted some unusual behaviour.
"I came along and there was a naked lady sitting on the post, on the gate post, getting her photo taken and it later appeared in one of those girlie magazines," he said.
"I had the sign pinched three times."
The history behind the name of the property remains a point of interest.
"It was called Richlands when I bought it, but it was widely known as Hells Gate," Mr Paterson said.
As for where that came from, Mr Paterson says he does not really know - and if he did he would not tell.
"I don't want to spoil the mystique of it," he said.

Happiness simply is.
There need be no pursuit.
