Tree, Port Hills, Christchurch

This is looking along the crater rim in the Port Hills.

nice one

..very nicely captured. The only suggestion I have would be to crop out the dark foreground, somewhere close to the top of the rock but retaining the highlighted grasses. IMHO the large dark area draws the viewers eye down, cropping seems to enhance the already great composition and present a more enticing image. Thanks for sharing, RickDB

Very dramatic sky, interesting forground lighting and good control of DOF, well done!

Very nice image!

fantastic shot and good on you for being out there at that time. Maybe cut a bit of dark foreground off if you have some sky to spare on the original but it's a great shot anyway. I'd love to have seen a panoroma of this scene.

HI Ian, I go up almost every other day, as I live on the lower slopes.

 

Thanks for all the other comments.

oh my those clouds are ablaze with fiery light!

what a Beautiful and very balanced photograph.

I never made it to NZ but have heard so much about that beautiful land.
