c) rated above average (4.0 +) The twisting pass

A section of the Swartberg Pass as it winds its way between Prince

Albert and Outdshoorn in South Africa

Nice, well-composed image. My only real comment is that there seems to be some kind of noise through the centre part of the stand of trees...don't know if it's noise from slightly underexposing the image, or added from upload, or what.

Great landscape. Excellent colours.

Great shot with unique illumination.

I appreciate your comments and rating - would just like to add ( for Doug's benefit) that I think the "noise" on the central trees is actually discolouration of the foliage which has turned brown due to die-back

Yup...could be. It seems to a have acquired a purplish tinge on my monitor, but I think it's because the pixel density in that area isn't high enough to accurately represent the true colour. I'm betting it looks just fine on the original.
