    Interesting lines. Never been there.

  • Garth Smith replied

    Thanks Anne, its a beautiful peaceful spot that can be accessed from either the Mawbanna or the Forest end. So if you were leaving from Dip Falls travelling to Smithton you can turn off before you get back to the highway and go this way and drive over the shallow ford through the Black River. Usually only about 2 to 7 inches deep.

    stunning capture – great tone and texture ..

  • Garth Smith replied

    Thank you Alan.

  • Alan Dean

    Alan Dean

    I’ve read the daily group critique – did seem to me that cropping the top (reducing height but not width) would be useful – but the fact that you tried that and lost the relative shadow depth shows that you never know until you try ….

    this is a great shot ..

  • Garth Smith replied

    Thank you very much Alan
