Hi Douglas - please forgive me for this, but I just can't get much past the highest point of the rock touching the top of the frame. I keep looking back at that and forgetting about the beauty of the rest of the shot.

That aside, the rest of the image is very beautiful and you''ve obviously done a lot of work - I just wish there was a touch more space at the top. Sorry fella!

WOW! What nerves of steel, shooting directly into the sun. Your details are amazing, hoping you were staring into the lens for those 9 shots! The colors in this are just glowing!
B-)

hi douglas.
i have finally got round to looking at your gallery. sorry for the delay.

the sun is amazing. how you have managed to keep so much detail without massive oe is a mystery to me.
i guess it is the 9 images that have given the sun its rays?

sooooooperb.

You did an excellent job of controlling this strong light. The details are very nice and this makes for a unique and interesting landscape. TFS
