Picture of the Week 12.06.07

Postby Geoff on Tue Jun 12, 2007 9:45 pm

I usually allow about an hour to mil through the previous weeks' images to select POTW. As time goes on it's taking me longer to find just one as we keep getting some absolutely brilliant photos posted for critique/comment.

This week was no different!

To cut to the chase however, I've chosen Antman's image of the Na Pali Sunset. Stunning work and he's said he will have this printed to canvas - Geoff, can you take a shot of the canvas when it's printed and post it on the forum?? Perhaps even put it up for sale? :) You just never know!

The original thread can be found here.

And here, is the outstanding image itself:

Congrats Geoff.

Thanks Geoff for choosing my picture and a big thank you to everyone for your kind words.

I must again say I was very happy with how the image turned out. I've seen a few HDR images which do have that "fake" look and I've tried to avoid that with my HDR attempts. The end result I got certainly exceeded any expectations that I had.

Thanks again and I will try and get a photo of that canvas once it it printed.

That is one stunning image that I missed first time around. It is certainly one of the best landscapes I have seen in a long time. Super :D

As promised here are a couple of pics of the canvas.

The canvas is approx. 106 x 71 cm. I decided to try the firm Brilliantprints up in QLD. The whole process was fairly straight forward and I am very happy with the end result.
