It was very hard to take a bad picture in this neck of the woods (Ben Boyd National Park - Southern NSW). Very picturesque. More to come soon. Probably sooner if I get good feedback .

#1 love the simplicty and colours

#2 I think is a bit over saturated (on my lcd...)

#3 and #4 are my faves

G'day WW,

Here's my feeble attempt to provide feedback, please take this with a grain of salt as I don't pretend to have any skills in that area, just trying to provide requested feedback

#1 Just doesn't "grab me", the foreground doesn't seem to have anything that grabs the attention and my eye seems to wander off to the right with the rocky fore-shore and white water.

#2 This holds more interest for me, especially with the lone yacht, strong colour and saturation.

#3 I like this, just wondering is the ground sloping like that? Also wonder if it might be worth have a lower starting point or perspective and making more use of what looks like wild flowers in the foreground.

#4 Ahhhh, now this is nice... Really interesting foreground features and textures, sky might be a bit hot/bright but the foreground makes it... Maybe a play with either levels/curves or shadow highlights on a selected area of the darker areas of the rocks in shadow? Hmmm, wonder if it would be possible to get down to the base of the rocks and shoot from there?

Dunno but hope a different view from someone might help toss some ideas around, I know I always struggle when thinking of where to shoot from

Cheers.

for me, the 2nd and 4th are the best.

I feel that 1 and 3 both hold little interest for me in the foreground. 2 is sorta like that too but the boat and bright water in the middle keeps me from looking at the empty foreground. Perhaps this could be improved by a pano crop and taking away a lot of the grass.

the 4th shot is easily the pick of the bunch in my eyes.

wombat man,
Some good photos!

My comment would be to choose different times of the day to shoot - when the colours are dynamic! - sunrise, sunset etc.

thanks for your contribution!

Cheers
