Joe, Bill's comment about the stacks not being vertical prompted me to think again about your image. I took a quick look at the polar co-ordinates filter in Photoshop with a conversion from rectangular to polar. As the co-ordinates always start at at the bottom left, you get a different conversion if you rotate the image 90 deg before conversion. You can have endless fun! |

I quite liked the softer colours of the original, but I guess it's a matter of taste. The stacks are not parallel, so which one (if any) is vertical? Your correction to the dominant one to make it vertical is satisfying. Now that I am taking another look at this image, though, I can see some adventurous possibilities. |

I don't think I would flip this image (sorry Isaac!) because it is such a well known location in this part of the world. |

Ian, I think the Fosberry Flop would be rather painful at that location!!! |

Thanks for your nice comments Ian. Yes, we did go into the Picton Room which was very nicely done. I took several pictures there too. I think I could have spent a whole day in the library with all the photo opportunities there. Congratulations on your gold medal for the museum staircase. It is a super place too. |

I've visited the Swallow Falls a couple of times and I would rate this as a classic shot of them. The temptation is always to try to include the complete fall with the bottom as well as the top. Your composition gives a well balanced view to include the rapids above the falls and the delightful autumn colours in the trees. Shutter speed is well chosen to show water movement without losing detail. |

This is the sort of image I would have expected to see in Norway or some other near Arctic pocation. I do enjoy the colours and the subtle variations in the structures. The colours go well with the blue sky and the composition is satisfying with the road in front. Like Joe and Isaac, I wondered about the boat docks, so thanks for the explanation. I notice the houses are all raised up on some sort of supporting structure. I guess this is because the road sometimes floods in storm conditions? As for the price, from a British perspective, $258,900 doesn't seem too bad! |

I must say I do enjoy a bit of experimentation in photography, and who cares whether or not it appeals to exhibition judges. I think this is great and I like the whole image with the 'eyes'at the top. It really does look like a weird Halloween mask to me. I like the red and blue swirling lines and the hint of a human figure in the centre. My only comment is that a thin white stroke (1 pixel) would have separated the image from the black background of the web presentation. I had to copy the image into Photoshop to see the image boundaries. |

Bill, you chose a good viewpoint to put the tree neatly in the gap between the mountains. David spotted the 'eagle' in the tree. I see the mountains on the left as leaning towards the tree almost like howling wolves. (You need to be on the right pills!!!) Seriously, I think you have created a picture in conditions that most photographers would avoid - high midday sun and blue sky. The border and signature add an artistic touch to finish. |

Funnily enough we had a speaker at our photo club last week who showed pictures of Iceland and one of them was of the iconic mountain in the background of this image. However, he didn't show this view, maybe because it was February and he couldn't get to your viewpoint because of deep snow. Anyway, this is a great shot showing not only the triple waterfall but also that mountain beautifully placed to balance the composition and to add visual interest. I particularly like the way the clouds have neatly positioned themselves roumd the mountain. I also appreciate the splay of the white water at the base of the nearer two falls. Your shutter speed has been just right to capture that. |

You have chosen a good viewpoint to create a great perspective with the line of the structure leading you into the image. The colours are wonderful and the pale green fits well with the orange rust. The crop works well too, with all extraneous detail removed. I have to agree that the Isaac flip is absolutely right for this image! |
