    Its funny Mel, I was just telling hubby tonight that if you ever found your way to Tasmania, I would invite you over for coffee then kidnap you so I could pick your brains for a week. He reckons I would release you after the first 3am start you would be sure to browbeat me into.

    This is bloody sensational btw.

    I love hint of red reflection that you’ve captured in the ocean waves but what really captures my attention is the composition of the rounded pools with their island stones in the foreground. Great work.

    ROFL @ “Is there an oversaturated group?” LOL – You and photoshop :)

    This is one of those glory shots Mel, the one where it catches the eye instanly from the thumbnail that it’s going to be something extra special. The lighting within the little boulder pool (they’re hardly rocks) is just to die for – A real dream capture. Nice vigentte style bordering on the skyline too.

    Just one magical shot, your composition, color and focus are just excellent-if I had the wall space I would buy this image to look at all day, but my walls are already full to the hilt and heaps more framed works that don’t have a home! This is definitely one of my faves on this group…nice work :-)
