Philip – this is an awesome piece of work. I adore not only the fog, the scenery and the colour, but the way you’ve used the HDR technique to what I call, “Bring out” the shapes, is amazing. Great stuff!!!!

Stunning work!!

WOW,WOW,WOW!!!!

wow that’s beautiful…something out of a dream.

Has to be seen to be believed. How steady your hand must be to take 5 shots and still blend them.

This is freaking unimaginably awesome!!!

unbelievable shot ! so well done !

Excellent composition & photography!

Beautiful photo Philip. I love the fog sitting around the buildings and the orange glow on the trees from the morning sun. Good work :)

This… is really stunning.

The mist… the soft colours… it’s great…

Can’t add alot more- just that I find it Breathtaking- What an awesome view you have!A Fav!!

Mind blowing color and magical light. You have quite a gift.

beautiful capture! i almost looks like a painting! wonderful!

Great shot, really like your composition on this one.

o boy! o boy! both are masterpieces

Quite amazing!

Fabulous!!!

Phillip, this is an outstanding image mate, the blending really made the colors for this one. I’ve got to say, I’m usually a bigger fan of landscape work with no man-made stuff, as I gather you are aswell, but the way the fog spans accross the city gives a bit of a makeshift horizon – it’s bloody awesome. Good work and cheers for your interest in mine!

Great Capture. Instant favorite.

It doesn’t get any cooler than this Phillip! Words escape me. Instant fav. You should consider adding this image to the Citscapes and Syklines Group Cheers, S.

Speachless..

one word…......................STUNNING

That’s flipping fantastic!

Lovely work Philip, and stunning portfolio, great work!

Stunning work Phillip! Almost dreamlike! That view across Lavendar Bay is always fabulous but your image is just superb!

Phillip – Lovely shot well composed, nicely balanced and beautiful work on the tone-mapping.

Where abouts is this taken from, it seems too high up to be taken from Lavendar Street!!!

I could well imagine why it has been popular – such a well balanced photograph and very etherial in quality…

So what’ll it take for me to bribe you? haha

O-M-G this is absolutely b-e-a-u-t-i-f-u-l hdr work!
And that’s some great view, fancy a swap for a Queensland roos and bush setting…!

This is outstanding! I love the mood here and your HDR is perfect.

Would be a good shot if it wasn’t HDR.

ahhh a hdr pesimist lol

I think the reason some people dislike HDR is the same that many don’t like fractal art: there is so much poorly done work out there. People don’t take the time necessary in postprocessing it. Great HDR, like this one, reminds me of Maxfield Parrish’s paintings. It shows the world the way we wish we could remember it.

I think that HDR is something that will become more accepted. People have a tendency to be rigid about any new thing. Digital art is still fighting against that prejudice and I imagine that it took a while for digital photography to be accepted.

Stunning shot!

wow! amazing!

Excellent great Art

Damn wish I was there with you Phil, this one of the best ever shots I have seen from that Location mate, it is a real Ripper mate :) Outstanding stuff, makes me feel very proud I am Australian :) Instant fav mate, well done :)

magnificent, such fine work

Great Scott ! What a shot !! – Well done.

I’m prepared to make an exception, you can add as many photos as you want to the group, they’re AMAZING!
