[Note Guidelines] Photographer's Note
A view over Storm Bay and the Derwent River estuary from the summit of Mount Wellington.
This 1270m mountain sits behind Hobart, the capital of Tasmania. It has a distinctly alpine feel about it with low densely packed shrubs and lichen-covered granite tors.
Although it looks bright and sunny in this shot, it was cold and windy enough for me to get icicles in my beard!

Hi Chris
Wow this is really nice view of this magnificent place. I was on way to visit Tasmania during my visit to Australia but never succeeded :( Well presented shot with nice colours and details. I guess, it is many animals and birds to photograp there :)

Hi Cris, excellent landscape, beautiful colors and a nice moment. The contrast between the dark background and the the rocks in the sun is wonderful. The light curvature of the sea make me think that you used an approximate 18-20 mm focal lenght lens, that incrise the vastness sensation.
TFS, Dan

Hello Chris,
Beautiful landscape picture. With those granite tors and small shrubs hardly notice how windy this place is. Love the way you composed this picture. Great color richness. TFS,

Hello Chris,
Wow, what a fantastic vista!! Wonderful light bringing out the colours of the rocks and the greens which contrast so beautifully against the distant background. Brilliant shot from a very nice POV. (Amazing what the S2 can do!)
Many thanks, Ulla

Hello Chris,
Superb Tassie landscape shot, the distant coastline put well into perspective by the rocky ridge top. Beautiful lighting and compo.
TFS and best wishes, Ivan

Hello Chris,
that point of view you had! It seems to deserve a bit of suffering... Very well captured the contrast of colors between stones/grass (warm, above all green & yellow) and the background (cool, blue). I like the effect of low clouds, they seems a very few meters from the head of the photographer... A shot to remember.

Hi Chris,
Wonderful rock formation and a very spectacular view. It does look like a sunny shot, but reading you note made me understand that the temp was far from summer weather. It must have been an awesome walk to the summit.
TFS,
Niek

Hi Chris

What a beautiful sight! I'm sure the view from this summit is amazing in every direction :)
The perspective from here is amazing and it feels like going on and on. The look toward this estuary couldn't be any better and i love the way you also gave in great FG attention, too!
The vegetation and stones here really do look alpine and sort of contrast the warm feeling of the estuary! Great effect created here! ;)
The colors everywhere are very beautiful and well saturated, the light is well managed and the details are great throughout the entire frame.

Bravo and TFS
Horia

Beautiful scenery and lovely colour saturation, tfs

What a cool and beautiful site Chris. This is breathtaking I love it. I dont really see to many images of Tasmania and this is a real bonus. :)

hello chris
une beauté...sauvage...ces couleurs comme illuminées au premier plan... whaou !

These granite rocks are so similar to those in California's "Alabama Hills" which I am going to be posting soon...same material, same shapes, same color only mine are many miles from any water. I like the rich colors in this shot. The exposure and sharpness is very good too. There appears to be a bit of barrel lens distortion, not unusual for such a wide angled shot.
