Just to bore you with two more pics from NZ last year.
The first was taken on the drive to Queenstown - this was near one of the main ski fields, but I forget the name.
Nikon D200
Lens: 17-35mm F/2.8 D
Focal Length: 35mm
Exposure Mode: Manual
Metering Mode: Multi-Pattern
1/4000 sec -
F/5 - I don't recall if the shallow DOF was deliberate or not, but I don't mind the effect.
C&C always appreciated.
Cheers

#1 is great Patrick. Not so sure about #2. I think the problem is the eye follows the pier to the edge of the image thus leading you out of the shot rather than in. The colour one is quite orange, but it looks intentional unlike the other shots you had with a decided yellow cast.
Interestingly when we were there in February this year the same location was quite green.

Colour in the first one is sweet. Also like the DOF...different effect for landscape.
The 2nd is lacking in something...I think stubsy might be right in saying the pier draws your eye away from shot. Also not sure the B&W treatment suits it...The sky lacks punch.

Patrick,
I quite like the first one as well. To me, it looks like the pass you have to go through from Wanaka to Queenstown, along the Crown Range Rd.
Very nice
André

Number 1 for me, lovely colours.

Thanks for the feedback everyone.
I agree with the comments about the second one - given the pier provides the perfect opportunity for a leading line, I don't think I captured one shot out of many which used it to appropriate effect.
Andre, you are spot on with the location - it is just before the very, very windy road leading down to the [insert correct name starting with Arrow here] area before Queenstown. The orange colour was boosted a bit, but it was totally void of greenery.

The colours and the shallow DOF on the first one are really good. Have the colours of the foreground been enhanced particularly through post processing?

Thanks. The colours have been enhanced through PP, but not overly so.

i really like the first one, but feel that it's a tad oversaturated (literally the yellow is just a bit oversaturated). Reason why I say this is I love the DOF but the yellow is really clashing with the DOF so I don't know which one should be more dominant. Personally I'd go for the DOF since it's a lot cooler
