There’s only one word to describe this – Awesome!

great shot and moment Mel

This is another incredible piece of work Mel, well played!

Stunning Mel

Wow, what an amazing place. Could you please send some of those skies over here? You know, just the ones you throw away… that are 100 times more dynamic than ours!

Like the square crop too, and hope you had enough oxygen up there. Nice work!

Sheesh! A spectacular scene

Simply brilliant!

The depth to this is brilliant Mel this is amazing. Personally for me one of your best.

Great shot….. but you know that or you wouldn’t have posted it…... :-)

hyper real image sharp and spot on tonal stuff

(Oops, i’m late on this one!)

This is an instant wow! I’m still trying to establish what really grabs my attention first. I keep wanting to say the sky with those marvellous clouds patterned across the sky, but then they lead you down to those beautiful snow capped mountains standing so prominent and strong in that gorgeous glow of light.

Then we have the rocky road itself, full of textures, splashes of light tripping off the individual rocks and finally the rocks in the foreground nestled peacefully in the grass.

I’m still undecided, and constantly change my mind, but I do know when you put the 4 parts together it is that instant wow!

absolutely stunning Mel – like Stuart says – definitely has the wow factor :)

Fantstic scene. delightful depth and foreground!

Norberto Torriente

You have achieved an almost impossible task by shooting the NZ mountains in an original way so they look utterly fantasatic without looking like a scene from Lord of the Rings, or Narnia… Really fabulous! (Nothing against Lord of the Rings of course !!!)
