The Sentinel Peak, a photo from KwaZulu-Natal, East

Photographer's Note

The Sentinel Peak at the Northern Drakensberg offers the easiest access to the top of the Drakensberg escarpmet. Following that, the view of the Tugela Falls from the top of the Amphitheatre is possibly the highlight of any trip to the Drakensberg.

At this height, the winds were strong, moving the clouds quite often, forming interesting patterns in the deep blue sky.

Hello May ,
I like these mountains . You've chosen an excellent angle of view to compose the picture using the lovely clouds .
May be a little lack of sharpness and contrast . I try to do a WS . (a little dust on your lense , too ;))

Hi May
The rock formation certainly makes you sit and pay more than the usual attention, beautiful rock colours with the contrast against the sky adding to the impact of your scene. Excellent composition and a capture of a wonderful sight, the majesty of the place and yes it is an area that has the seen to be believed. IMHO a bit more sharpening is beneficial, Congrats, TFS
Warm regards

Hi May,
What I like this picture is the clouds. One of the cloud is like a dancing human form in the sky. Dancing on cloud nine from the top of the Drakensberg. Beautiful place to be. TFS. Cheers!!!
