Nicccceeeeeee

Only been up to the GC once and loved the fact that waking up at 6am felt like it was 9am....but by the afternoon I was stuffed.

great shot.......but for me I think it can do with a bit more contrast to make it a bit more dramatic.......that is if you like that sort of thing..... the person in the shot gives it great depth......

Yeah I lost a little contrast when i converted to a JPG.. my working TIF doesn't look as soft as this.

Nice shot a lil dark but i guess thats the way it's meant to be. That is a long way out, and yeh would hate to be stuck out and try beet a the rain.

A bit dark, soft. I like the picture, and the style of shot. Very pretty!

Shot @ f/16 you'd expect it to not look too soft, weird it looks that 'fuzzy'

Thanks for the critique guys.. I've rehashed inital the 'save to web' JPG which didn't quite match my TIF file and did a little adjust.. I've since resaved it as a JPG and looks a bit better (mind you I did the inital PP at 5:30am with little sleep which might have something to do with the quality

)

Here's the edit..

Wow Atorie, if that's what you can do at 4am when you can't sleep, I'd like to see you at your photographic peak! Well done!

Nice dark shot here, Max

Now I'm going to be a total pain. I like the sharpness better of #2, but think #2 is now too bright.

The clouds make it seem dark, the path is long and goes for infinity, it has a dark feel to it in my mind, somewhere inbetween 1 & 2.

Whatever what tho, it's still a very nice capture and I feel better for seeing it @ all!
