This is a really cool shot. The guy with his arms up really makes it special.

Hi everybody, this is my first critique and I hope to do it constructively fine! Well, as the comment above, yep, that branch on the left, I dont' like it either. I think it would have been better if you had moved a little bit to your right, or maybe closer to the two rocks and make them fill most of your frame, trying to avoid those branches, and giving the rocks even more importance. Of course, I don't know this place, so I don't know if this movement was possible. Anyway, for the rest, I like the desaturated/contrasted tone you gave the picture, and the dark vignetting on the sky. However, you should urgently consider removing that little spot in the sky that seems from dust in your sensor... a simple cloning touch would be enough.

Take care. I

I agree with the above positive comments about your choice of post prod treatment here, it is very effective and unexpected given the natural colours of the area. I think that the branch touching the marble is a little distracting, but it is a strong image nonetheless. Well done.

Thanks for your comments. I had never thought of the branch as a distraction before, but now it sticks out as a sore thumb.

I did see the dust before, but thought that no one would notice - how wrong I am. I really need to upgrade my camera (D70s), but can't really justify it at the moment, as my skills really don't match the camera's ability yet.

The Devil's Marbles are really interesting formations - there are dozens of other similar rock formations in the region. Unfortunately, it is in the middle of literally nowhere.

I'll update the picture and submit to "Duo".

This is just wonderful. Great composition, great subject, nice processing. The issue about the branch on the left IMHO is trivial and just does not detract from the quality of this picture.

This is a very cool shot. IMO, I think more color or more saturation for that matter would give this a lot more punch. It's very well-shot though :)

.moses.

Maybe a little bit aversaturated and oversharpened but still a very nice scene and a well done panorama that shows how biiig this area is.

Perfect! I love how the water looks black, but the pier is even blacker. Nice job.

Atractivo y sugerente contraste. Enhorabuena. Saludos

Great pic. That dog is so cute too!

Wonderful catch!
Beautiful floor too.

All I can say is...CUTE!

hahaha that's perfect!

Great fun! Wonderful capture - thanks for sharing this one.

Best,

I debated with myself whether this photograph belongs here... from my perspective, there are two "empty" spaces - the area under the elephant's trunk, and the ocean in the background.

Would be interested in what everyone thought.

I think it fits to this category.
Beautiful colors and good composition.
