Hi John,
Wonderfully stark ocean landscape with the ominous stormy sky looming over the silver sea as it crashing the red sands below the great cliff that is surrounded by lovely grey rocks and scrub pines.
Regards, Tom

Hi John. A superb coastal view of this famous place. The clouds are wonderful in this composition. Very good details provided. TFS. Murray.

PS It looks like a wonderful trip along this part of Australia's long coastline.

Hi John,
A truly wonderful location, great pov and although it's not the best light, you created something very special out of it. The great ocean road is very famous and i love to drive that road myself.

Great dramatic scene! The dark clouds in the sky give this a very moody feel, and really suit the name "Shipwreck Coast". The huge rock standing out in the ocean is good too, adding to the threatening tone. Well done!

John, c'est un paysage d'une beauté sauvage et presque dramatique. J'aime le ciel et la belle couleur des falaises. Du très beau travail.

Best regards,

John, looking for the first time into your collection I have to admit that you're a perfect ambassador for the australian beauty! Very thoughtfull and nice photography that you have here. The composition is exquisite and you choose a perfect POV. The difficult and challenging light conditions are mastered wonderfully. I'm very impressed with you summary of your PP. I did that for a while myself and stopped with it, because no one else was doing it, but I think that is very sincere and adds to the learning purpose that we all strive to have at TE. My only minor negative comment is the lack of sharpness and I don't understand how you got there.

Hi John,

Tremendous .. powerful .. dark .. moody ... the thing I find the most intriguing .. strangely enough .. is how this dark and moody scene interacts with the bright white background.

take care,

John

Hi John,

The light and the sky make or an exquisite unique setting, very beautiful and dramatic. Nice composition, eventhout the rock is on the center it works. I Like the textures, we can almost fell the rocks and the sea. Excellent deeph of field.

Cheers,

Flavia

Very good framing and balance in this composition combining earth, sea and sky. The clouded sky and strong sea are impressive and dramatic. The little band of light in the background is enough to provide some color to the picture.

All the best,

Emmanuel

Hi John. You have created a very dramatic image with your PP and light handling. Good composition with strong diagonal elements and good foreground interest. Nice work and thanks for sharing.
Cheers, Paul.

G'day John.
Ahh, one of my favorite places. Had my honeymoon here. Many special memories. Love the dark, brooding light and that threatening sky. Good POV too. A little diffrent from the usual. Well done.

John,

what awesome scenery you have to choose from. I visited Queensland a couple of years back and it was beautiful. I don'y know that I will get the opportunity to go back but I would love to spend three months there really seeing the country.

Your shot is great, it is clear and colorful and dark enough to be really intreaguing. Keep up the great work.

Hi John - some people would be disappointed with this light, but the powerful overcast has its own unique appeal, especially when accompanied by such attractive scenery.

Hi John
Great ocean road is a good place to find stunning sceneries, and looks like you caught one here!
I like the soft and pleasant colors here and as on many of your other pictures, it is very tastefully framed.
Nice work

Hi John. Beautiful POV that incorporates the encrusted rocks at the bottom, like some brooding alien presence, the yellowish cliff face and the stack in the middle and the ominous sky above.Great light. Well done. Regards. Klaudio.

Hello John. This is really gloomy and I meant it in a positive way. :-) You have captured the mood brilliantly with the cliff as a stunner in the foreground. That solitary rock on the small waves ponding the shore sits on the sweet spot beautifully. I will definite lose the sky with my PP, but you have brought out the vibrancy brilliantly here. Alway top class and very well done. Best regards. Jusni
