Went to the snow (none there) on the weekend- great weather- nice and foggy with not too much rain. Had a good time!!

Heres a few of the better shots.. I think the third is a little over processed but not sure.

C&C please,

The third may be over-processed, but I like that kind of image and yours is a good one :)

#1 for me - has that high country feel to it.

I love #1. I bet there are 10 trout in that shot you never knew were there. I will be down that way in 2 weeks or so myself for some fishing. Where was that? I looks very familiar but it could be so many places!

Robert,

I really like the first one. I probably would have liked to see a bit more of the stream on the bottom, but still works very nicely.

Second one has potential but somehow doesn't quite get there for me.

I'll be up that way in March, so really am looking forward to it.

Cheers,

André

I'm sure lots of people have seen it- its just on the road between Perisher and Charlottes the stream really doubles back on itself a few times.

The first is my favourite- just cos it captures some of the bleakness of that area. Here is the original- there was a bit more at the bottom but i cropped it some..

heres one that shows the area a little more and the stream just snakin along.

Robert,

the new one without the crop at the bottom works much better for me. You can just follow he creek, the bank stops you from falling out of the photo :wink:

Thanks,

André
