Comments/critiques welcomed. Thanks.

very lovely

great choice using the fill flash. very effective in bringing out the color and detail in the rocks. never would have guessed there was 5 stops of ND grad across the top - seamlessly done and with very natural, and appealing results. all in all - awesome!!

Great colors and a fantastique mood.

Excelente trabajo,,perfecto color y composicion,, con una luz perfecta.. un cordial saludo.

Wow this is really beautiful. Congratulations.

Andrew,

 

Their is not a 5 stop filter at the top, only in the middle where the sun is. A "reverse "ND grad filter was used. From the Singh-Ray site a reverse grad is described as "at their horizontal middle started very abruptly with either a 1, 2 or 3 stops of neutral density and then graduate to 1 or 2 stops towards the top of the filter".

thanks Brett - right you are, my mistake. i've only used 'standard' ND grads myself and therefore don't think of reverse filters right away. however, as Christian has demonstrated so well, reverse grads clearly have their place in a camera bag and can create wonderful results when used well. great shot again Christian!
