I went to Talbingo hydroelectric power station near Tumut recently.
They have some very large pipes up that way

Do you like my artsy PP treatment. How is my composition?

Second shot is nice, nice toning in
PS, maybe B&W would be better ?

I like both of these, they seem to be suffering a bit from the jpeg conversion ? they seem pretty blocky, especially up in the sky.

Like the treatment and framing/composition of an unusual subject, would be tempted to clone out or paint out the smattering of detail in the ground in the foreground of the second shot. Really gritty industrial feel, wonder if you could get more contrast in the sky to make it more moody or threatening maybe?

Dramatic shots Willy, but I would have liked to see something to give some scale and show how big the pipes are.

These really work well for me. Maybe the Authority would be interested in buying them from you??

Willy, I must admit I like the first one - and it's not even wildlife!!! Nice work, and well seen - most of us (well me anyway), would have walked straight past, and not even noticed the composition waiting to be captured.

#1. Print it big, frame it. (well, I would). Maybe do a whole series of the snowy-hydro. Excellent.
I've been thinking about doing something similar when I make a trip down that way later this year.

Yeah me too Greg - tinkered with that idea - but i decided to go with a minimalist approach in the end.
Here is a happy snap of my GF in front of the pipes for scale. She is about 5 foot tall. I think they are about 4 meters in diameter. Like i said - BIG pipes.

I toyed around with a bit more high contrast processing similar to the effect I did for #1.
Hope you like these two as well.
