It took me a while to find this unusual view of Uluru (Ayres Rock)

Not entirely sure what i like about this one... but i do! I do like the colour very much and it suits the composition... again i don't know why? Very Good, very different...

12 Apostiles

great curves... nice aspect

Very nice compostion and vivid colour... the different shades of whispy-green in contrast to the linear lines of the veins really stands out.

Same same tuk tuk

This is brilliant... you have captured the moment perfectly. Good action, good expression, good use of focus, good composition and good colours... i really like it. i guess this is 'softball'? I would have loved to see one fieldsperson right at the back out of focus with the glove ready!

before you all start having a go at me... i know it's too big! not as big as some that i've posted... i will try and shrink it... i am still new to this electronic web type thing! sorry.

thanks for your comments. i could not show more of the wake because there is no wake... this is cable 'wakeboarding' which is set up on a cable pull circuit (no boat) and the riders rely on 'loading the line' to spring (pop) out of the water... very impressive when you see it done properly! The also have the use of 'kickers' ramps and 'sliders' rails to perform tricks off.

i really like this.. i think it may look better if the black square format is cropped tighter to the head in a portrait (rectangle) shape.

 

Really good contrast... like many of your pictures? is this done later in photoshop? i really like the effect.

Turtle - Great Barrier Reef

Thanks for you comments neil...i agree that the barb-wire may be a little un-sightly... i am new to photoshop and will clone it out at some stage. The Orang Utan is not in an enclosure and is free to roam as deep in to the jungle as it wishes. He is however an orphan and as a result has had a lot of human contact, therefore it will take a long time for him to become comfortable with life too far outside the reach of the Re-habilitation Centre. His name is 'Olly'.

 

I may try the crop you suggest... i do like the green in the background though? The shot was taken with an automatic Espio and therefore i had no choice as far as Fstops are concerned.

a very nice picture... says so much.

The detail is brilliant... a great portrait.

thanks ken, yeah i thought that? i was scanning the negative last night and played about in photoshop to remove the cast... however, i ended up going back to the original scan. I'm still not sure if its the film or the dusty australian desert atmosphere...? I'm just pleased i got lucky with the image and the gentleman's willingness to be photographed. I was in my van at the time and he had approached me to ask for directions...

Cable Wakeboarding at JBwaterski, Surrey. Big Air!

Stunning... a fantastic piece.

The View From My Hammock...

I saw the jogger stop and just hoped he'd stay there long enough for

the cyclist to come round the corner...
