Great find Stephen, brilliant composition and colour, I love the way you have framed the image with the dead tree pointing to the pool of water… brilliant!!

also Good Picture (from katie 8yrs old)

brilliant composition and colour! Great work!

gorgeous

Excellent work!

Great shot.

Beautiful colours in the salt lake and the reflections held in it from the clouds are awesome too. Love the composition of this and how it’s been framed.

colour work is awsome

wow! that is amazing!

Fantastic colours in this one, the dead branches, the reflection in the backwater, that amazing sky.

Wow, this is an incredible shot! You are so talented.

Fabulous comp and love that brooding sky :)

very cool – cesspoolish!

Methinks you are Salvador Dali reincarnated!

wow thats a lovely shot

Thank you all, this is an image that I love, it tells the sad tale of our river and impels me to think we can manage it all so much better. I really appreciate your support!

I really love the mood of this shot it’s so evocative, nice work :)

Deadly place…...............great image, strong narrative, well done.

The dead looking trees in the foreground really add the perfect touch to this combined with the sky. Beautiful job!!!

it looks like this shot was taken from another planet ….fantastic image of our world

Wow…great shot

Is this anywhere near Adelaide….I may be moving there in a few months :o)

Phill

Cheers Stephen

I came out about 5 years ago and took a trip south to a town on the sea with a train that goes over to an island…cant for the life of me remember what it was called.

My sister lives in Adelaide..near Brighton Road.

Thanks

Phill

Phill That would be Victor Harbor. Tram that goes over to Granite Island.

The wonderful composition & colours have created a great mood here.

You really are an amazing and gifted photographer. This is another perfect and beautifully captured image!

WOW..they are amazing colours.

You have a terrific portfolio, Stephen. I’ve enjoyed my visit.

From another world – such a harsh environment in contrast to such a beautiful image. Great work. Did you use any post manipulation? Good detail throughout the image

Please send these images of the drought to the department of environment and heritage in Canberra, they would love these images. Very dramatic, amazing colour.

cool, looks sci-fi

How extraordinarily beautiful is this!!. You are an incredibly gifted photographer Stephen. Your entire portfolio is a ‘trip’ to be taken, and I’m so happy I discovered you and it.

So stark and yet the colours and reflections add beauty. Its a poignant shot – love it!

Amazing image!!

Amazing capture, Steve, love the pinks and shapes of timber. Don’t love the reason they look so interesting for a photo though! Send down some rain, clouds!!

this is absolutely stunning, and stunningly depressing all at once, I’ve a few images from the murray mouth taken a few months ago which is almost entirely sand, the murray system in my neck of the woods isn’t much better either, it has water, but I can almost walk straight down it’s centre for a few kms at a time down around tocumwal, the water is so low that most of the way down i can touch it’s bottom…

This is a great capture – the colors are really wonderful:)

Amazing !

Stunning shot!!!

Love the colours and environmental message. You should enter some of your images in next years ANZANG photography comp – this would be great in “Our Impact”.

Wow – this is increadible!

Powerful, looks too beautiful to be natural…just gorgeous!

Very ‘other worldly’, well spotted and shot.

Beautiful work…keep on shooting

your photography is fantastic, so dramatic, I love this, your scenery in Oz is spectacular

great shot!

Exceptional capture but sad state for river!

What a beautiful place.. Looks like a gem stone cut flat across.. Love the colors and tones.. Great work Stephen..

great capture.superb

bloody awesome mate…..this is absolutely fantastic…..

amazing image

Stunning image Stephen. Beautiful colours.

This is a wonderful image Stephen~!! Would you consider this in the outback group at all?
Fantastic shot.

splendid shot Stephen, looks like an image out of a scifi magazine!

Lovely colours, and a sad reminder of the current situation.

Great colurs and perspective Stephen

great colours and compo, i also like the optical illusion of that main branch, it seams to arch over to the other side of the puddle

My goodness !! What an awesome shot !! The color’s are amazing. What a devastated landscape ! You have captured this so well. Great sky ! Great light, color and reflections.
Im a bit scared ! Ominous. Very well captured. Send this one to the water corp !??

amazing

Totally pustulant- the running sore of the river. So incredibly powerful it should make you a fortune.

Stunning work! breathtaking atmosphere!

=)

The colors are great and the place is unique. But a bit creepy I think…

BRILLIANT

Oh wow, this is amazing. Lovely foreground!

Fantastic shot !!!!!!

I love the mysterious quality here Stephen…you sure have an eye for an amazing photo!

amazing colours and composition….fab work

Wonder how you got this pink there… doesn’t seem to reflect the sky. Whatever you did here, it’s beautiful.

Beautiful work Stephen, a wonderful image.

Nice composition, beautiful colours as always!

Magic!!

CONGRATS on getting this pic in the Adelaide Advertiser today Stephen. Not surprised – it’s a great pic and certainly shows the plight of the Murray.

Stephen, congrats on this fantastic pic being featured in the Advertiser today. A stunning shot. Well done.

This is simply breathtaking beautyful!!!!!!

What a fantastic sight. The colours in the pool of water are just beautiful. Nature despite it’s often harsh characteristics can still look beautiful even at it’s worst. Great piece of documentary photography. Great composition and framing. Hope the drought comes to an end soon!!

Great work

fantastic work,,,,,,,,,,

This is one of the most amazing shot I’ve ever come across on RB. An instant fav.. Would be happy to have this in the Light and Reflection group!!

i’ve never seen a salt pan as art…Danged if this ain’t a great piece of art!

Such a dramatic and powerful way to illustrate the urgent crisis currently facing us here in Australia. What a fascinating image. What a devastatingly salt ravaged landscaped you have captured here. Very good work Stephen.

Saw this in the weekend paper, Stephen. Such an emotive image.

Amazing visual impact in this stunning image Stephen, many congratulations on the well deserved feature,
Regards, Rod.

Looking at this image I could not make up my mind in it was a photo or a 3d landscape created in Vue…. I syill can’t…. The image is almost surreal!

Wonderful shot, love the colours and the framing.

Beautiful image!

Hi Steve. This is a fabulous shot! You are so lucky to have so many beautiful subjects. I think you and I have the same tastes. Too bad I live in New York and can’t find many things to photograph in the winter. Peace!
Thanks for your comments.

a master at your craft!
Well done!

So many elements are striking in this image! Particularly I note the roundness of the lagoon contrasted agaisnt the spiky trees and trunks, the wonderful color and reflections in the water, the framing and composition used. My country(Canada) like yours is known by for its expansesive and diverse landscape but Autralia’s uniqueness shines through and totally captivates me!

Hi Steve this is an amazing shot – but ultimately sad scene for me considering what is happening to our environment. I first saw this shot before I was actually on Red Bubble. It was in the Adelaide Advertiser a couple of months ago as the picture for a story on the environment. But since seeing it on RB I was curious as to whether you knew the photo was used (I have a copy at work and will dig it out and send it to you if you do not have a copy) and if they approached you directly or they just took it off RB. They did credit you though as the photographer.
Keep snapping mate – your photos are a true inspiration to aspiring amatuers like myself.

Hi Dave, thanks very much for the support and comments. I did give the advertiser permission to use it, in fact that have used it twice and they sent me copies as well as the paper that I got delivered here. I appreciate your offer and the fact that you thought enough to drop me this line.

WOW!!! an amazing photo!! I love this one. it looks like something from the neverending story!! almost like you went to another world to take this photo!! wonderful just wonderful!!!!!!!

I love how you’ve framed the shot with the dead tree!

WOW Steve,, this is an incredible capture,,, it’s breathtaking ,, stunning,, photography at it’s finest,,, your work is truely spectacular,,,, cheers

steve this is awsome…........ the color, the framing, the clouds, very thought provoking…great work as always…..........

Steve.. simply like to say:
Top shot

John
