I spent ages trying to find a picture i liked and i thought was worthy of posting in here. The i realised that the photo i had been useing for my desktop was maybe good enough. :p

I took this from a small boat on Great Oyster Bay at the Freycient Peninsula in Tassmaina.




The smaller size image dosnt do it justic imho.

It's a cool shot. Looks like a fish, only bigger.

FWIW, I wouldn't worry about finding photos that you think are worthy. I don't think that's what this place is all about. It's not a competition here, it's just a bunch of folks that enjoy sharing photos.

Post the shots that you are happy with or the shots that you want to use to learn how to make them better. Photos are as much art as anything, in general. As such, some people will like what is posted, others will not. NBD.  BTW, I tried to look at your full size image, but got a 404 error.

I kind of knew that, but i'm in awe at most the pictures posted here and it might take me a while to get over my Britsh reserve and think my pics are worth posting

That is a very nice capture. You might like to rotate it and recrop it to get the horizon horizontal. I think that would help the image. Do you know how to rotate to get the horizintal vertical using the ruler tool in PS?

This is a good capture anyone would be proud of. No wonder you have it on your desktop (BTW - my picky eyes notice a dust bunny in the sky above the mountains - the anal bastard in me forces me to suggest you think about cloning the DB out )

OK - very quickly (PM me for more details)

Use the "measure tool" found under the eye dropper tool drop down on the tools pallete. (It looks like a ruler.)

Zoom into the horizon and draw a line across the horizon. Go to "rotate canvas" unde the image drop down and choose "arbitrary" and then you will notice that there is a number alleady there. Click Ok and bob is your uncle. No probs. Let me know how you go.

thanks Willy wombat and stubbsy.
I have rotated it and removed the DB and it looks a lot better

You have the same mental problem I do. With the quality of a lot of the pics posted here, it makes me feel like I have to have something pretty special before I will post it. I am trying to get over this though

My only nits were the horizon and the bunny on the hill. Other than those (fixed) issues, a lovely shot.
