Good images Steve... the third being my pick.

I really like the composition of the second one, however the lens flare is a bit distracting.

I like the first two because the colour, mainly. However, I think I would prefer the 3rd one also in colour. May be it is a colour picture :?

#1 and #2 are great. I'm not sure what I'm looking at with #3, so I don't like it as much! :lol:

Oooh Steve .. those first two are brilliant.. I'd have either or both on my wall in a flash.. and I don't say that about many pics at all.. okay I never say it.. I'm so jealous.. I haven't been to New Zealand for a about three years now and must make plans to get back there in the near future I think... :)

Thanks for the comments folks. The second one should have been the winner but it looks like it ended up with a bit of motion blur in the foreground which spoilt it a bit and as Xerebus has noted there is also what looks like might be some lens flare in there as well. I didn't notice it until I had printed the shot big :( .

The last shot is in colour not B&W as has been suggested infact I boosted the saturation a bit to try and bring out the foreground rocks.

Anyway thanks for the feedback
