[Note Guidelines] Photographer's Note
This shot was taken shortly before sunset near Great Ocean Road. ;-)
The Twelve Apostles are a collection of natural limestone stacks standing just off shore in the Port Campbell National Park, on the Great Ocean Road in Victoria, Australia. Their proximity to one another has made the site a popular tourist attraction. Originally the site was called the Sow and Piglets. The name was changed in the 1950s to the more majestic "The Twelve Apostles" to lure more visitors even though there were only nine left.

The Twelve Apostles are between the towns of Port Campbell and Princetown on the Great Ocean Road. In the early 2000s a visitor centre was built on the inland side of the road to allow for easy parking and access to the best viewing area. Helicopter rides around the formations are also available. But I had not taken one. ;-)

Have a nice day all, guys.
Cheers, R.

Beautiful pace; great colors...

Hello Radim
Fantastic scenery at a fantastic moment. Everything looks great to me.

Hi Radim!
Besides the fact that you captured that photo from a technical point of view in a brilliant way, you stood lucky and captured that amazing sky.
Well done

excellent shot, Radim, the flower-cowered hill in the foreground nicely "points" towards the beautiful emerald see. I like a lot the strong diagonal composition, I find it adds energy to the scene that fits well. the rays of light are extra bonus for this beautiful view, this is very well seen and presented.

with best regards,
Kristine

very beautiful ! one of those places that I really wanted to see and do a photo shoot...i like the composition...TFS.

Hi Radim
Fantastic light and a wonderful composition using the flowers as FG interest. The colour combination is an unusual mix but it works well here.

Hello Radim,a lovely composition with the triangular piece of clifftop leading us into the scene.The sky is very dramatic;the sun makes good reflections on the waves.
Beautiful colours.
Tfs, regards Jean.

Radium,
Your composition and POV are outstanding here. The inclusion of the flowers in the foreground is a nice touch adding nice color and texture to the shot. The sunset is great with the streaks of sunlight leading down to the sea. The lighting and colors are fine with excellent sharpness and detail.
TFS,
Asa

Hi Radim
Nice to see you back on TE. Are those flowers are recent edition ? In any case it gives a lot of originality to the shot taken from the typical view point. Makes up for the broken stack. I like the strong contrasts and saturation.
Regards
Nikki

Hi Radim, you show us a very diffrent composition of this famous place. The little flowers at the bg make it diffrent and offer a lovely contrast with the dark sky and rocks. Lovely work.
Best regards
