Congratulations Jay Gould for your image "Moeraki Boulders, New Zealand" being chosen as the Landscape Image of the Week for the week ending 6/24/2011!!!

These amazing hunks of round rock are found lying along the Koekohe Beach on the Otago Coast of New Zealand. They and the surrounding structures presented many challenging opportunities for images. More to be posted!

The color was in the sky and the Grads helped bring it out. PP actually toned down the sky and added some contrast to the image.

We happen to love the image so much that we are having it printed 3' x 2' and putting it on the ceiling above our bed in the caravan! http://www.birdphotographers.net/forums/showthread.php/images/smilies/biggrin3.gif
