[Note Guidelines] Photographer's Note
Moogerah Dam was contructed in 1958, long before the Green Movement, so these dead trees were never cleared. But apparently, they're good for the fish. "Moogerah", is an indigenous Australian word, that translates as "home of thunderstorms".

Hi Chris,

Luc

fabulous colours, kind of haunting, quite an 'alien' sort of landscape, thanx, Chris, M (*_*)

Hi Chris,

Superb colours!!
That softness in the horizon makes the composition so relaxing, so calm!
Love the contrast with the dark silhouettes and the golden/orange colour tones!
Very well done and TFS :)

Colours contrast and composition are just fine

Hi Chris,

Very nice composition with great colours. Excellent capture. I think that with a little more of contrast this shot can be better, specially on the left... Great work!

Hi Chris,
good colors and nice POV. The silouhetes of the trees create a eery mood. Excellent composition.
TFS..Sky

Great compo that place. I like to walk around place like that! Colors of fire work great for the mood!

Another masterpiece... not because of the ordinary landscape but because you have waited until the sun paints it for you! Brilliant

Hi Chris,
wonderfully composed photo. I love the threes on the left and right framing the picture and the trunks placed in an disordered way across the whole photo. Great silhouettes over fabulous reflection of the sunset (I believe) in the water. tfs

Hello Chris, very nice colors you got here. I agree that this a shot that gives a lot of calm. I would only increased the contrast of the sky just a bit to balance the tones. Well done! Gabriel

Surreal flooded world, long dead, but still visible..... good picture! Nice vivid color, eerie peacefulness.

Lovely picture...almost looks like a painting. Great colours and comp. TFS

Beautiful shot! The colors are simply amazing from the sky to the water and the black outline of the trees and hills is magnificent. I think your best yet!

This one is a cool shot.
