Enjoy!

Beautiful sky Morkel, and very nice twin antennae.:D

This is very well done - blissful indeed. I like the 'rollercoaster' lines of the foreground and the placement of the sun is just perfect for me.

Too much exposure on the gemsbok, too little, or just right? I think you are just about right, but I find it such a tough decision with shots like this.

Are you not going to try an HDR with this one? :-)

Hi Morkel

I really like this. The compositions works very well, the colours are beautiful and there is just the right amount of detail within the subjects. The 'mackeral' sky adds a nice touch. You might like to try a version without the setting sun, as I find your eye being drawn to it, rather than the subject.:)

Steve;)

thanks for the kind feedback guys!

@ Paul - already busy with an HDR version ;)
@ Steve - I think I'll leave the sun :cool:

Hi Morkel

This is very nice and different to the normal images we see. I might crop some from the right if it were mine.

Cheers
