Cradle Mountain at Dawn

Funny, I saw this image in a tiny thumbnail and instantly new it was cradle moutain. It’s just so distinctive…. I like this, it’s different … you have way for forground than the classica nd it works really well… It’s much more true to how it feels when you’re there. Very tas, very nice !

Excellent picture, it looks so amazing that finally I can assure no CG will ever be able to imitate this. Damn, I wish I could be over there. The place looks so calm, way different to the urban environment I live in.

This is so awesome to look at Pete, there is an energy and stillness that is very engaging. Great shot!

I agree with Paul – Nice work!!!

Such amazing stillness, particularly as it looks like things are moving rapidly at the cloud’s level. Mornings like this are a great reward for getting up early.

Excellent, I’ll look forward to more like this!

peter I need a job if you can help

beautiful reflection.
not yet a convert myself…. what’s wrong with sunsets, i say ;)

Fantastic image… Would love to see a bigger veriosn of this to fully take it all in.

Breathtaking!

Great photo, really captured the place and time.

I’m gob-smacked! This is just stunning!

Cradle Mountain/Dove Lake. Impossible to take a poor image. One of Nature’s Treasures. Everyone go there.

great photo… if i wasn’t spending my cash on avgas i would definetly buy it;)

Awesome shot. The clouds really turned it on for you didn’t they. The reflection is the business too. Well done!

GORGEOUS!

i look at this and feel like i’ve been racing through time,
to come to a stop in front of this lake, these mountains,
this sky rushing me at a million miles an hour,
time speeding, forwards and backwards,
distorting and twisted in the angles of the clouds.

full on :)

beautiful reflections Peter.

Beautiful..

I too am not a morning person, but when I do drag myself out of bed the dawn light is great. You have captured a great moment here. Great sky and reflection.

Hard to get different perspectives on common images … success Peter.
Viva la revolucion!

Dawn is the BEST time! What a great shot, Peter.

Hmmm … gotta go there … hehehe … excellent piece Peter :thumbsup:

A M A Z I N G ! love the perspective, the clouds even participated – looks as though they’re emerging from the Cradle!

Fascinating and breathtaking! Great job!

Wow spectacular shot very impressive

WOW breathtaking. Absolutely beautiful

Simply stunning. I’ve recently been playing with reflections. Must say… I’m jealous! smile

Certainly worth getting up early for!! Great capture Peter.

My cradle mountains shots never turn out this beautiful and captivating. It’s like a whole other world in comparison. Spectacular!

GOOD ONE, NICE MUG SHOT IN THE HELMET..TOO

reflections made in heaven…fantastic!

Great stuff Peter,looks like nice country for hiking.

David.

love the composition with this picture, an awesome canvas, right down to the reflections of the clouds in the water

Brilliant shot!, love the clear pebbles foreground, the obviously magic reflections and the composition.

Very well captured the beauty of nature in this part of the world.

very wonderful shot. love the reflections. absolutely beautiful.

Gorgeous shot!

great shot Peter, almost perfect still reflection abd like the sky too…

Fantastic perspective and love the reflection!

Absolutely awsome. Im so jealous i didnt take it!

Super Shot Peter, great light and reflection. Why dont you post this into the Light and Relfection group, so we can have an RB presence in there too. It would make an exceptional addition to the group.

absolutely perfect! I love the balance between the sky and the water!

This is a really well composed shot. Love the reflection and the clouds are great.

Great shot, love the reflection.

Wow! Fantastic photos and great reflections and sky, just beautiful, well done :)

wow

this is fantastic and beautiful.
there appears to be EPIC beauty in Australia

This is incredible… love the perfect reflection!

Wow, this is beautiful! The mountains, the water, the shadows, they all come together to make this so perfect! I think you’re right about early morning shots, unfortunately I am usually on my way to work when I see the most gorgeous sights!

This is stunning.

MY MY MY WOW!!! SO BEAUTIFUL. GREAT SHOT

Never have I seen such a peacful photo look as though it is moving so rapidly. Very cool.

SO very good, Peter….
otherwordly & I like the vast skies!
Great capture.

Excellent capture

Beautiful landscape!!!

It’s like you’ve held a tinted mirror to the sky in this one – I love that there’s almost no foreground to speak of – just reflection, rock, pebbles under water, and sky above and below. Great shot!

There’s no mistaking Cradle! A very beautiful, tranquil portrayal.

This must have been so fun.. You got so much reflection and still enough color to kick …

Absolutely stunning, nothing more needs to be said!

great work! i love the reflections of the still water

Excellent photo.

Beautiful! Love the sky and the reflection!

Most perfect in every way!!

Almost surreal, like from another planet. The reflections are great, no ripple on the water at all, good exposure. The mountain with his sharp edges looks curious and sparse.

This is an Awesome Shot, keep up the good work!!!!!!

You’ve captured a fantastic feeling of depth and an intimate feeling of being among the mountains. Love it!

This is fantastic! beautiful shot. Instant favorite

This is breathtaking Peter – fantastic shot.

Ahhhh tassie ..you got to love it.

Wow! Such an awesome shot!

i find this inspired, and inspiring… the way you’ve framed it makes the mountain appears to be drawing you in and pushing you away simultaneously, with all the force that only nature can summon

absolutley amazing and so lucky to have such a clear sky. I’ve been there twice both times started out a gloriouse day then turns bitter cold and clouds fall in

fantastic reflections !

Awesome shot Peter.

Cradle’s silhouette is just awesome and with that sky, reflection and those foreground rocks this image really works. No sleeping in for the landscape photographer.

superb!!

Beautiful shot indeed, so glad you up for this one !!!

Make that “got up” , maybe I need some sleep LOL

Stunning shot

Ideal reflection! Well done!

One of the single best pieces of art I’ve seen in Red Bubble. I think I’m putting James on my Christmas Card list….

Well worth the effort of dragging yourself out of bed for a dawn shoot … may do it myself sometime.
The clarity is quite wonderful :))

Wow it must be totally awesome being in such a location..out of this world!!.. I particularly love the glassy look of the water on this!

great shot, love the reflections

wonderful – would have loved to capture this wide sweeping view under conditions like this

Beautiful glowing image… extraordinary!

You have some absolutely breath-taking landscape… this is a great photo.. everything is so still and clear…. love it!

Awesome reflections here, really nice work..

What an incredible view and location ! A brilliant capture – very crisp, with great lighting.

Amazing work great reflections

Incredible shot, love the simple palette and strong reflection. The cloud adds real life to it too!

beautiful, love it

Gentle and delicate….another good image.

I see this is a favorite among MANY judging from all the comments I scrolled through to get to the bottom. ;-)
This a fantastic image. Love the cloud movement and the reflection is supurb. Great job, Petah.

Unbeatable Peter – this is archetypal landscape photography for me. You convey both the beauty and the fragility of the world in this image.

wow, Peter! what a lovely view point and excellent composition!
very beautiful lighting, nice metering…
well done ;)

This is stunning!! Lovely!

very beautiful, I absolutely love the silhouette!

This is me going 57 different shades of green. Cradle Mountain is just down the road, and in all the times I have lugged my camera gear there it has never had the grace to reflect for me like this.

One of the best I have seen of this Tassie icon.

Magnificent shot!

Beautiful!!!!!!

I give it a Thumbs Up!

VERY COOL SHOT, I LOVE REFLECTIONS LIKE THIS. THIS WENT INTO FAVORITES. BOB

FABULOUS image

A nice place well captured, Peter! To be at this kind of places or to see this photo lets room for thoughts and makes the soul free. Stunning!

I just got back from a trip to Cradle, so I am scoping around to see what other people have posted. I liked this one very much Peter.

Fantastic reflection!

Lovely reflection :)

What a beautiful image and an instant fave!!!!!xx

Nice image Peter, before the sun comes up and after it goes down are magnificent.Like Mel says – the best! Sunrise is 3 hours later in winter.
Thank you for RedBubble.

This is a ripper. I’m nocturnal, but I know I have to get up early – early here now is 3:30 a.m. And, as Garth writes above, thank you for RedBubble!

Wow…That is a beautiful shot….I could sit and look at it for hours…..
