The slight glimps of the sea really gives this a three dimensional feel. Great composition and good use of the strong shapes of the Nikau palms. Regards John

Bold statement Rog to split the canvas into two. What has eaten the bark off the top of the tree trunk?
Have you seen the spec for the D200? Looks good. Have my pre-order in; 4th on the list. Just can't rationalise spending $8000 NZ for a D2X.

Thanks Roger, yes you are spot on with your observation but as Ansell Adams was quoted as saying. "the negative is only the score.. The print is the symphony.
One of the joys of the digital darkroom is to shot raw and then interpet as Muse sways you.

Ingrid, first thank you for your flattering comments on my work and adding me to your friends list. Secondly thank you for introducing me to your work. Only one word needed to describe your pictures, stunning. I will take great delight in looking at each work in detail. I can imagine how they look as large prints.
You certainly have that "Vincent Ward" eye for light. Solo was filmed in the dark volcanic area of the central North Island, an altogether different landscape from the South Island where I live.
Here the light in summer has often been compared to that of Spain. Sometimes harsh but often as soft as honey on a summers day.
Don't leave it too long before you vist. We are being over run by the well healed escaping from the ravages of a troubled Northern Hemisphere.
Regards John

Great composition Tomek. The central pillar divides the frame but unites the two parts of the picture into one. The whole is greater then the sum of the parts. Nice work. Regards John

Hi Bernard, thanks for having the balls to respond.
The message your picture was giving was that any girl in a headscarf with a backpack could be a suicide bomber. That is implied racisim and religious bigotry. The very stereotypical thinking that is creating hatred in the world today.
My mother lived through night after night of bombing raids on the East End of London during the Second World War. I did not have to be there to understand the psychological damage she and many thousands of others suffered as a result.
I did not have to be in Bali, Herat, Kabul, Bagdad, Beirut, Jerusalem, Grozni, Londonderry, Belfast, New York, Berlin, Coventry, Colombo or any other place or war to feel hated for the warmongers and compassion for victims.
We all live on one planet. Given the stupidity of the human race I doubt we will survive to see any other planets colonised.
Regards John

This was taken in February Roger. After one of the warmest, dryest winters on record we are back to our normal spring weather. Cool and damp. Not great for sitting on the beach.
I just downloaded a trial of DXO analyser and I quite like how it processed this file. Not sure if it's worth the money though.
I had to replace my monitor recently and purchased an LCD. Even though I profiled it, the brightness & contrast of the new monitor are higher than my old CRT. Taking a while to get the on-screen images right although they look fine in print.
Regards John
