On the Rocks Part 2

Got a thin skin? Then look elsewhere. Post a link to an image that you've made, and invite others to offer their critiques. Honesty is encouraged, but please be positive in your constructive criticism. Flaming and just plain nastiness will not be tolerated. Please note that this is not an area for you to showcase your images, nor is this a place for you to show-off where you have been. This is an area for you to post images so that you may share with us a technique that you have mastered, or are trying to master. Typically, no more than about four images should be posted in any one post or thread, and the maximum size of any side of any image should not exceed 950 px.

Forum rules
Please note that image critiquing is a matter of give and take: if you post images for critique, and you then expect to receive criticism, then it is also reasonable, fair and appropriate that, in return, you post your critique of the images of other members here as a matter of courtesy. So please do offer your critique of the images of others; your opinion is important, and will help everyone here enjoy their visit to far greater extent.

Also please note that, unless you state something to the contrary, other members might attempt to repost your image with their own post processing applied. We see this as an acceptable form of critique, but should you prefer that others not modify your work, this is perfectly ok, and you should state this, either within your post, or within your signature.

Images posted here should conform with the general forum guidelines. Image sizes should not exceed 950 pixels along the largest side (height or width) and typically no more than four images per post or thread.

Please also ensure that you have a meaningful location included in your profile. Please refer to the FAQ for details of what "meaningful" is.

Over the weekend I snuck into Stubbsy's backpack and followed him around Boat Harbour and Newcastle. :shock:

Lovely vista and beautifully exposed huynhie. The only nit pick would be to adjust the horizon :)
cheers

Beautiful !!!! And thank god you didn't post any shots of Stubbsy skinny dipping or nude sunbathing !!!!! (only kidding Stubs ;) )

Edit - I have a question - did you use a polarizing filter in this shot, to get the foreground so beautifully clear?

Marko - it's only just just out !!!! LOL

Very nice ... love the angle. Can't help but wonder what the image would be like if you removed the horizon altogether and cropped just below it?

Canon 20D and a bunch of lovely L glass and a 580EX. Benro tripod. Manfrotto monopod. Lowepro and Crumpler bags. And a pair of Sigma teleconverters, and some Kenko tubes.

Yes a polariser was used to clean up the reflection. :wink:

Andrew

So that's it. I thought it felt extra heavy.

This is an exceptionally good image and I know you have more of this quality (the shells on the rocks comes to mind) so how about sharing a few more from there.
