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.

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.

Fantastic Paul, I love number 1 in particular. Exceptional.

I wonder when an audit of these piles of sandstone will be conducted and the whole
thing renamed to reflect the true position - i.e. they are not apostles and there aren't twelve.

Thank you for the comments...

On a side note... does anyone know when all twelve were standing? If there were ever 12 that is.

I don't believe there was 12 to begin with, unsure if there was less or more originally but pretty sure it was not a 'literal naming'.

I like both shots, the first is great, lovely mood to it, the sky tones are great.

With the second, I love the light on the rocks but its a shame about the shadow of the cliff on the outcrop.. had it been taken earlier the shadow might not have been so distracting but the light would of been different as well.

Hmm... interesting. Will have to look up more on the history of these rocks.

To get rid of the shadow I would have had to taken the shot later (this is a morning shot).

Arh my Sony, never been interstate, so I'm completely disorientated when looking at the shot.

Hi Paul,

I've been really enjoying your GOR series, wonderful images, beautiful light, looks like you had a great trip.

They were renamed in the 50's, they used to be named Sow and Piglet, not to enticing for visitors it seems :lol: :lol:

It bit of history:

thanks for sharing Paul,

Andre

Two fanatastic images Paul and fine examples of the different moods possible at the 12 apostles. Beautiful captures of very contrasting images that sit well together. :)
cheers

Those two pics were only taken just over an hour apart.

Shows how quickly light can change.
