This is a pic from a trip me and my partner took a little while back. I had the S5 Pro with me that trip, this is probably one of the best shots from it. I really like it, but would like some unbiased opinions on it. As always it is straight from camera, no post done.

One of the reasons why I love the S5 Pro so much. It is awesome for colours and dynamic range. Hmm that fence? Meh I'll deal with it another time, stuff post processing it out, just tear it down!!

I can almost feel the warmth coming off that sandstone. Beautiful shot.

I strangely like the fence - it ruins the picturesqueness of the whole image - for me it brings a crash of reality back into it...spoils it but in doing so accentuates it. But thats my personal prefrence - I like imperfections expecially in landscapish shots

but yes love the colours

I have to agree with mozzie, i dont quite know what it is about the fence but it brings imperfections to the shot, and makes it better at least in my opinion, love the colour on the sandstone, great work!
