A couple of weeks ago a friend and I set out on the 22km walk from Charlotes Pass to Mt Kosciusko and back.

Here are some of the images. Honest critique is most welcome.

You can see the entire gallery using the link in my signature and going to Places and then Mt Kosciusko.

Cheers,

They look great. I love the nice vivid blue from the altitude and the wispy clouds add to the pics appeal.

It would have been a nice walk.

Hi Woody, great shots. Done with a polariser or with PP afterwards? Love the saturated look and composition.

Woody.

Honest you'll always get from me :wink:

#1 - fantastic blue & gold. I'm guessing you bumped the saturation a bit, or maybe it's all just down to a CP. Whatever - it makes the shot.

#2 - the foreground rock is very dominant and doesn't lead me into the image. I'd crop it out completely so the water leads me into the image

#3 is a little busy for my tastes

#4 is the exact opposite - not much to look at in both subject & colours. I think bumping the saturation on this like shot #1 will make this one work.

Of the ones on SmugMug
#4 is great "the lonely hiker"
#6 - the twisted look to the landscape is a good capture
#10 - this is the only "rock shot" that works probably because the foreground isn't rocks!
#6 on page 2 another vibrant shot where the colours work well

#11 on p2 - good shot, but a little overexposed for my tastes.

The strange thing about all of these shots for me is that it doesn't look cold even though it must have been!

Thanks Guys.

Owen - I did have a Polariser on the lens but also a little bit of PP (well a lot on a couple).

Killa - Actually the walk sucked (but that's another story)

Peter - Thanks for all your comments, all taken onboard. It wasn't actually that cold. I just had a T-Shirt on from about 10am.

MHD - Ummm, OK

Darb - Thanks mate, checked out your site and you have some great images there.

Cheers,

Woody, don't know if this counts as much of a critique, but when I opened this topic, my "turning-three-tomorrow" daughter went......

"Wow, that's pretty"......
