outstanding shot! it reminded me of Ansel Adams work!

High praise indeed – thank you.
There are two famous photographers in Tasmania that, one day, hopefully, if I’m lucky, a photograph of mine might be compared to.
Those photographers are of course Peter Dombrovskis and Olegas Truchanas.
Comparing a photo of mine with Ansel Adams is something somewhat beyond that, and to be honest, was something I was not prepared to hear (read).
Something everyone should take a look at – A video production titled Wildness was produced, featuring Dombrovskis and Truchanas – well worth a look.
The DVD can be purchased here.

its good to see a HDR that doesn’t make me want to laugh… great discipline with not over processing this one.

I couldn’t agree more regarding HDR, so often overdone in my opinion. I like to reproduce images as I remember seeing them – how it appeared at the time.
Though I respect the artistic impression added by others, and their techniques, it’s not my thing.
Thanks for commenting Steve, I appreciate your images too.
