POTW 14 April 2008

Postby the foto fanatic on Tue Apr 15, 2008 8:26 am

This week's POTW is from a member who has posted several top-quality images of late.

It is a landscape that I found immediately appealing, and it is unmistakably recognisable as the Australian bush. It has wonderful depth of colour, great lighting and perfect exposure. It is one of those images that look simple, but you know are challenging to get just right.

The image is Bob G's Buderim Rainforest Waterfall, and the original thread is here.

Great shot Bob, congrats. I would like to see a similar view without the tree in the foreground. Do you have one?

Gee!!! What a surprise to come home to.

Just been up in the rainforest for a couple of days with wife and away from civilization - then come home to this surprise which I wasn't at all expecting.

Thankyou everyone for your generous comments.

Great photo. Like the way the waterfall and the spot the water is landing is white... looks surreal.
