da Rock Photo | TrekEarth

Photographer’s Note

Uluru, historically known as Ayer's Rock, is one incredible piece of rock. I expected the mass and the color. But I didn't expect the level of detail, the various canyons, and the amazing texture on the rock. It is a marvelous place, great for anyone, and especially for photographers.

I love the title “da rock”!!! It is very Australian!!!
And I love your photo which is magnificent. The colour of the Australian central landscape is extremely well show in here as it is the vegetation of the area. Excellent work.

Hi Mike,
If there is a famous rock in the world, it's this one. Indeed, this is Da Rock!
I like the foto with a big amount of colourful background.
Greetings,

Hello Mike,

And one might wonder what made nature create such a piece of rock..!
Amazing colours, I'm not sure I should call then autumn colours maybe they are like this year around...
A fine composition with good details, good feeling of depth and an amazing palette!

Greetings,

Hello Mike,
Beautiful colours and very well composed. I find the foreground with the desert vegetation and the dead branches on the ground very beautiful.
Best regards, Paul

Hi Mike
Excellent pov using the grass and burn branch in the foreground and the rock high right. You're so lucky to have contrasting clouds. However I find the rock lacks sharpness and I don't think it's just because I need glasses.
Regards
Nikki

Hello Basil.
The most beautiful colors and a great composition that enlarges so spectacular place, the loneliness that transmits the place is incredible. A good work, congratulations.
Regards and good weekend.
Luis.
