Nikon DSLR "Picture Of The Day"

[iiaGavin]

I think this is amazing BUT I am distracted by that platform in the top left. Could easily photoshop it out or crop to remove it...Just my opinion of course, and otherwise deserves a place on your wall!!

Thanks herc and others who commented. It probably is one of my best shots. As for the chairs/dock in the background, I did consider cropping it out, but felt that a) reducing the amount of land at the top of the shot would make it a bit more unbalanced, and b) I kind of like the added punch of colour that the chairs add. That being said, I'm sure I will play around with and see what happens.

@ K1W1: Gee, that brings back memories of my schooldays in London, only then we still used the old heavy leather balls that weighed a ton when they got wet (and made you see stars if you attempted a header). Great shot!


@ iiaGavin: I like the chairs in the background of your photo -- they add to the overall surreal effect in my opinion. You certainly lined your ducks up correctly for that one!

I got up even before a couple cows did.

Congrats (on getting up so early) and on the photo!

Great shot and atmosphere.

First of all I will say it wasn't me but if anybody is that sensitive that a little negative feedback, regardless of how negative then the world of Internet forums is probably not a place for them.
I hope that he comes back after a break.

it would appear that people are not familiar with delobbo's, (rasidel), flickr site. lol
thats a superb shot denis.

ok so I think I forgot which forum I was in.. this kind of thing has been covered in the Canon thread and so I thought it would "click"... my bad. I posted a pic or two of some females with not a lot of clothing on in that thread and got denounced for it - and I ceased such activity thereof, fine. But it did not shoo me away from the forum. I guess Nikon peeps are cooler about this kind of thing.

K1W1 that is a stellar shot, and agreed the best Ive ever seen from you.

Id be curious as to who left.

I agree with Rooz, that shot is very special.

Id be curious as to who left..

it was in response to this photo: http://www.dcresource.com/forums/sho...postcount=3476

which had some "cosmetic" PP done to the young lady. i think there may have been a seperate thread on it about how much PP is too much and is it "right" to alter the appearance of people. the pic was of his wife and i think the scrutiny got a bit much for him.

all i see is a gorgeous woman, before and after post. shame he left.

Thanks for the comments, DPR and Rooz.

You lucky bastard, you know how rare it is to get a rain sunset rainbow picture there. I know Australians who have lived near there and boast if they have ever seen that.

Yeah, I was really lucky. As we were driving to the sunrise viewing location I didn't expect the lighting to be any good. It was still really cloudy. I had set up my tripod next to the fence and waited for quite some time for good light. Then suddenly the sun shone through a small gap in the clouds and the rainbow appeared. A few minutes later the light was gone and in a few seconds the rock changed back to a duller shade of red again and the rainbow disappeared.
