POTW 18.09.07

Postby Geoff on Tue Sep 18, 2007 10:52 pm

This doesn't get easier.
Without further ado however (and apologies for being late)... I present a relatively new member's photo of the famous Kiama landmark of the blowhole/whirlpool.

The PP executed has really enhanced the dramatic feel to it and I think this would look splendid on a metalic/fujiflex print...consider it Rob!!

For those that missed it the original thread is here.

And the photo itself:

How cool is this!!

Postby robert on Wed Sep 19, 2007 2:55 pm

Well- Thankyou to you all for the very kind and encouraging comments. Its great to have people look at your stuff and like it!!!

Normally my wife is the only one who gets to see my shots and she's not that big on landscapes and wilderness type stuff.

I love reading the comments and feedback people give (as well as putting my 2 cents in), it really helps how you see things and opens new possibilities. I especially like that people are willing to suggest a few changes/ideas and manage to do it in a constructive and encouraging way.

Anyway, this has made my week!!

Robert
