Yesterday four bearded fellows went for a walk around the gorgeous Blue Mountains. Stubbsy, Andrew, Greg and myself all enjoyed some great weather and great company and a great vantage point for sunset.

Here are 4 shots from my trip first two taken with the 90mm Tamron and the two two are 14-24mm.

Keen to hear your feedback.

My preference is for #3. It has colour, desolation, cold
and atmosphere.The first one is an interesting depth
of field study abstract. I feel you would have had a
better result with the second if you had been closer;
while the fourth lacks the colour intensity of the third.

#3 all the way, maybe pano crop and straighten up the horizon. Crop only the bottom to go for the 3rds? or crop for symmetry? either would work with a pano!

No group photos unfortunately.

How is this for a pano crop ?

nioce...

firstly, ignore my previous comment about horizon straightness..I first viewed that image on the laptop and it was alot darker, which now when viewing it on a desktop monitor, i prefer, I am not a fan of the detail in the shadows, for this particular image anyway, I think silhouetting would work better.

here's what I mean, if you want it removed just let me know, thoughts?

Craig

As with the others #3 is the standout here for me (your version rather than Gerry's). What really impresses me with this shot is the brilliance of the composition to make the most of that water puddle. Bloody clever.

Craig, great stuff with #3, the pano crop works well, and colours could still be juiced a bit more (Gerry you have taken them a bit too far though).

The first two images leave me a bit confused as to what you were trying to achieve though.

That 14-24 is brillant!

I'm with the others with #3. If Peter hadn't said it was a puddle, I would have assumed it was a small lake. Great use of what you had available. I also prefer the slightly more subdued colours in your version over Gerry's.
