Hi Janice,

I am not sure but your composition is multilayered. The near mountain, near cloud, far mountain, far sky. This is quite interesting as a POV itself. The intermediate aperture for landscape giving it a depth appropriate for softness on a cloudy day. Framing is also very nice.

Thanks for sharing this image.

A nice moody shot Janice.
I love the way the cloud is minmicking the shape of the rock below.
Its great when you catch something like that.
Its looks just a little blue though.I think I might have been tempted to tone the vblue down a wee bit.
The cruise would have been good fun.
Thanks for sharing this.
Cheers

Hallo Janice
So simple yet so very beautiful. This is a fascinating, touching and also moody photo, which easily can take our thoughts to unknown yet inspiring places. What wonderful cloud development announcing the storm that is brooding. You caught a special moment with a dramatic announcement of a storm and I can almost feel the tension building. Thanks for sharing.

Hello Janice,

What a dramatic scene, the clouds look really threatening. I think the clouds rolling of the mountains. That means BAD WEATHER. Nice shot.

Thanks for sharing. Have a nice weekend and TFS BOB

Hello Janice,
A cold grey scene on South Island well captured, but what makes this attractive for me is the light behind the rocky promontary caused by mist and making the rock really stand out. The rock also contributes to fine diagonal composition.
Thanks for sharing this taste of NZ,
Ivan

This is a very dramatic shot, Janice.I love the contrast between the sharpness of the water and the mysterious natural haze you've captured so well.
Cheers!

What created the 'glowing' (bright light seeming to seep around the corner of the rock ridge as it comes down and out into the water? Is the sun back behind somehow? Maybe there is a mist that is reflecting off the sun's light? Some other explanation? Regardless, it is really dramatic. TFS, Janice. - Kelly
