[Note Guidelines] Photographer's Note
This is another close up of a section of Uluru (Ayers rock).
Uluru is made from sedimentary rock called arkose sandstone, which is a coarse grained sandstone and mostly cotains a mineral called feldspar. The weathering of the rock gives it its red colour. The iron minerals in the rock are weathered by water and oxygen causing it to rust. The feldspar minerals within the arkose sandstone are also weathered and form clays, which contributes to the colouring. Here you can see where a piece of the rock has fallen off and the exposed underside has started rusting. Unweathered rock ia a grey colour.

Hi, Wanda!
Next interesting photo of australian nature. Very good photo from space! Good colours, very interesting composition, well done, good idea.

Hi Wanda,
This is the most original shot I have seen of Ayers rock so far. Very imaginative. The lines flow very well and what I think makes this shot quite outstanding is the fact that you decided to keep just enough sky in the image to give the viewer a sense of proportion and position within the photo. Very, very well done. Richard

Hi Wanda,
an articel about the Uluru mentioned that it is allowed to walk on that, but the local group of the Aborigene is not amused about that. This one must be from a walk, isn't it?
The structure is good visible, the part before the broken one looks more than the skin of a saurian, not like a stone.
Regards Ulf

Hi Wanda,
Nice idea this view of Uluru. Good POV and colors. No doubt Uluru is an amaising place.
Very nice capture.
Cheers from Jakarta.

Hola wanda:
Realmente esta es una foto original, en la que las texturas y colores tienen el protagonismo.
Es una composición distinta, simple y efectiva.
Un saludo: Javi

Hello Wanda,
very well captured shot from an unusual pov and with great perspective of the rock. Well managed light conditions and nice and well saturated colours. I visited this place exactly 10 years ago and this shot is a good refreshment for my mind. Well done!
Tfs and best wishes.

Hi Wanda!

Incredible photo! Never seen such POV and composition from that place. Great graphic result. Very original take!

Congratulations!

That triangle of white in the top-left corner really jumps out at me, it's very distracting. Wait a minute, perhaps if I scroll the image up the screen slightly. That's better, I can't see it anymore.
A great use of the lines and textures in the rock here Wanda, and I like the contrast between the deep red and the more muted colours all around. Remarkable how it seems like we are glimpsing the interior flesh of the rock as if through a gaping wound.
A very striking image Wanda, but that white triangle definitely has to go!
Cheers,
Ben
