There's not much water in The Outback Deserts of NSW and SA, but where it is, it's pretty nice...

Leon...Have you gone walkabout again? :D :D :D :D When do you work? :D :D
That second image has a lot of power. It's a knockout! I can almost hear the frogs croaking and the mozzies buzzing.

The Good:
Like the rest I reckon #2 rocks. #3 is a pretty good image as well let down a little by the way you've posted it here.

The bad:
#1 looks really out of focus to me - especially the foreground leaves whcih really detracts from the shot - not enough depth of field IMHO
#4 almost makes it but what looks like a large sun flare in the middle of the image distracts me

That's the look I was going for in #1 - sort of a dreamy feeling
In #4, I think what you're seeing as a sunflare is actually steam - these are hot springs, coming out at about 70 degrees if I recall correctly. They're a bit radioactive too - so I'll probably be glowing next Saturday night ;)

I'm working on getting more pics sorted from our adventure, and will write something up in the coming week or so with more info :)

I really like no.2. The colours and composition are fantastic. I would probably like to see this photo taken at slightly lower angle, but that's just my preference.

No. 1 has a nice composition but looks like it's out-of-focus.

Nice sky colours in the 2nd last.

I'm with surenj. Definitely the hero shot for me too and I'd be proud to have this one adorn my gallery as one of my own.
