I actually finished this prior to my visit to hospital and was hoping to be out again in time to load it when the theme opened. Had the doctor visited me on Thursday as he said he would I just may have been able to submit it the day the theme opened.

Thanks once again to Helen for taking the time to put the themes together.

Good morning David,
This is a terrific collage with wonderful ambience. The gorge looks mysterious, and it appears like a great discovery will be made by anyone who travel farther beyond the foggy scene. The pp treatment is good as it adds to the mood. Take care of yourself David. I know what it's like to have a severe bout with a lung infection. Regards...Danilo

:-) it's sooooo good to see you back here David!
I sure hope your visit to hospital did you well and that you feel much better now.

You posted a very moody image... or rather moody images!
Almost B/W...
Although the differences in the pictures are small, all have their own atmosphere.
I really like this collage.

Cheers,
Anneke

P.s.: do take care!!!!

Good morning David, hope things are improving with you now.

Lovely compilation of the different aspects of the gorge, nice and misty, gives them atmosphere.

All the best
Gil

Hi David,
I'm happy to see you are back, hope you will/are fully recoverd. Take it easy my friend. This postcard is a fine compilation of excellent pictures. The misty gorge is well exposed. Great tribute to the theme my friend!
Hans

Hello David,

How good to have you back again!
I was so surprised as I wasn't expecting a posting from you for some time yet!! As they say, where there's a will there's a way!

A wonderful montage of these moody and atmospheric shots, so reminiscent of your individual style.
I have a feeling that that you may be commissioned by the Tourist Board for your skills!!!

Kind regards,
Bev :-)

hello David

Great to see you back and well again.

It is hard to imagine TL without your fog post, even if it means accidents for road, rive or air traffic.

This fog gorge looks like a fun place for rafting down the flow. Fog and B&W mixes well for mystery touch.

A very fine postcard, David. In the end it gives a kind of stereoscopic effect. Wishing you to get well,

AHHH! So good to see you post David! I sure hope you are feeling better and up and around! You sure gave me a scare! This is nice! Always nice to see a photographer love his craft so much that he is willing to post, fresh out of the hospital!!

What a wonderful collage my dear friend of many faces. I love the almost black and white and of course the foggy misty images. Great idea for the postcard. Lovely feeling you have captured in each that differs slightly from the other. Get Well soon!
Warmest Regards

Hi David


The several faces of the bed of the river.
And all accompanied with the beautiful fog
to leave the mystic and beautiful atmosphere!
Wonderful creation David..... Wonderful collage!
Congratulations!

Hi David, Good collage showing the various angles of this white water river. The foggy appearance is appealing. TFS, Murray.

PS Hope you are soon back on deck and full recovery.

Bonjour David,
Nice presentation of a Post Card from Tasmania, excellent collage and details, very happy to see you back and hope you doing well..
Very well done.
Michel

An excellent way to combine these images into an even greater whole, enhancing the impression of the fog and the scene in doing so. I really like the mood and the multi-view treatment.

Glad to see you back online and doing something enjoyable that doesn't tax your lungs:) Take care and be well!

Hello David
I see a foggy and so moody collage of the Gorge in wich your zoom lens traveled to discover the beautiful uneven lines of shore that create a v-shaped perspective.
As for your health, hang on my friend.
Have a g'day.

Nice post-card, each of the images seems beautiful...wish to see some more.
