The Solitary View

Blue Mountains, NSW, Australia

I think I could visit these mountains every day and still not see all of the wonderful places this unique region has to offer.

Hi Gerry

I agree I went there and saw bugger all of what is there. I had a nice lunch with Mr Darcy to which I owe him one.

I like the shot, but for me, I think the rocks in the foreground are to prominent.

Very nice Gerry and yes I agree with your sentiment. During my teen years I spent many a long weekend bush walking through the Blue Mountains. Perry's Lookdown, Govett's Leap, Neat's Glen, Narrowneck Peninsula, Burragorang, Carlon Head (now that was a scary descent). All magnificent areas. In fact, I was born at Springwood. (Actually Nepean District hospital, but we lived at Springwood).

Great image.

Thanks Tony, I have a few combos at this spot, with and without the foreground rock, I think the rock provides some context to the descent here, but I agree, it does pull the attention away from the mountain.

I would crop from the bottom just a little bit below the rock ledge on the right. Leaving the same amount of the light in the shadow.

And yet, just to be different, I would crop just above the first rock making it square. I think the foreground rocks detracts from the landscape in this occasion.
