These small rocks caught my eye while I was photographing along the east coast of the Freycinet National Park, Tasmania.

A great image with vibrant colors. I would have shifted the camera a little more to the left. I would also have eliminated a little of the white space at the top. IMO it weaken the image. Thanks for sharing.

Very effective image that portrays the sunset in a unique way.

Tait, this is actually a sunrise shot. I was using the warm light to photograph the great red granite cliff faces and happened to turn around and saw this. This shot reminds me to keep looking above, behind, down....everywehere, when the light is "happening". This shot is full frame at 200mm. I also have it in a little wider angle but unfortunately the colors aren't as good. I agree with Bahman about the cropping and If I ever make a print, I will certainly crop off the top a little.

Cheers

Nice colors, nice composition. One thing about the image bothers me, though. The shadow lines draw my eye up and to the right until my attention falls off of the right side of the image. A shot with the sun in the view of the picture (at the top right of the image) would give my wandering eye a place to rest....

I don't know Bill, I think I like it just as it is now. I think if you crop off the top or move left you loose the wonderfull sense of isolation. I think it needs the bright patch of light to the right of the rocks in the middle and moving\cropping left would change that. Thanks for letting us see it.

I enjoy the uncertainty in scale on this shot. You've called these "small rocks" but in my mind's eye they look like they could be, with equal probability, two large mountain peaks rising above a layer of cloud. Another thing that puzzles me is the jagged and very rectangular "cliff faces" on the rocks. Very interesting and impressive shot!

Enjoyed the light!
