A couple more from my recent walk with Cameron

Spectacular images, Greg. Spectacular landscapes.

Same here!

Both are wonderful landscapes Greg. Nice work.

#2 is especially stunning.

Nice to see some images Greg, hope all is well up there mate.

To be honest they are nice shots, however

I don't agree that they are spectacular. I think this is a good example of how differently people interpret images and I love this, cause as I always say, it would be shit boring if we all agreed .. right?

So, i call on the other posters to share their vision on why they think the images are spectacular, this is not cause I am having a dig, quite the opposite, i want to know what am not seeing.

I like the second image and I like the layering of the landscape from the front to back, however I feel the rock is too prominent and causes a visual block for the viewer, possibly a slightly higher perspective would accentuate the curves and flow better into the canyons and cliffs...

I do think #2 is superb. Without the background it would look like a picture from Mars, but the the horizon gives it perspective. The flowing rocks make for a marvellous picture, in my humble but often misguided opinion!

Well, to start with, the scenery is somewhat better than the office parking lot

But let's look at the B&W conversion here as well; Greg a wonderful range of greys in this image, ranging from pure white, to a full black, with pretty much everything in between. That means that he's nailed that part of his post.

Add to that the composition which, whilst aided by the actual location, is Greg's vision and experience coming to the fore. The weather conditions appeared to be an aid here, with the wonderful cloud cover, but that would not have been able to have been realised in the manner that we're seeing it here without Greg's post.

Thanks Stark man and Ozi

Define "well".
Pam's mum died. So did my computer. I've been in hospital three times. All this year. But hey! Cam came up and we took some photos so yes all is well.

Thanks for prompting some extra discussion. I tried a higher POV on the rocks but it didn't work so well IMO.

Not at all good. Hope that you're on the mend, and that you're all recovering from Pam's loss.
