Kind regards,

I like 'em owen - except perhaps the first one - I'm just not keen on the diagonal approach, personal prejudice :)

I note you haven't done any PP yet, the hay bale shot might benefit from a dramatic bit of contrast type work....

Overall, nice work.

cheers

Hi Greg, thanks for the comments. I stupidly only shot one of the bottle and that was just a diagonal shot, I should have taken more at different angles.

No PP yet, had to get ready and head off to work :cry: lol. I'll give it a shot tonight though and post the result (if it's any better).

Kind regards,
Owen.

Hi Owen,
I think the 4th photo - mistymorning1 has real potential with a little PP
I would tend to reduse the exposure in the sky a water a little, that should bring up the fog a bit more.
Not too crazy about the first one, I tend to get a sore neck trying to turn the photo around. :)

Thanks for posting and well done getting up early, I keep meaning to do it, but just too lazy! :lol:

Anway, I really like the shot with the fallen tree, the mist is really glowing from the angle of the sun.

Owen - congrats first on the misty shots, not easy to do. Some PP could make them even better - in my minds eye I see contrasty B&W!!

Thanks Jon and Chris.

I got up early, before my alarm even which is weird. Driving along and saw the mist, then remembered about this river and I'm glad that I got some good shots... only about a 2% success rate though lol, I took lots of shots!

Thanks guys.

Just like the rest .... big thumbs up for mistymorning1. Aside from its obvious apeal, I also like the way the morning light is creeping into the right of the shot.

G'day,
Like the rest I really like mistymorning1 with the fallen tree, the morning light is glowing... Is the tree in the background the same one in morning4? Great time for shots like this huh...

Cheers,

Thanks again for the comments guys.

The time was around 6:30 probably more towards 6:45. Yeah it's the same tree in both shots, I liked the way the sun was hitting it and making the leaves glow but I couldn't really capture it that way.

Here's a re-do of mistymorning1, do you think it's any better? It's subtly different I think.

Here's another I found last night whilst browsing through the photos:
