Here we are still in Queenstown, walking slightly higher and getting into view part of the Skyline Restaurant, which is reached by Gondola from the street level...see yesterdays photo

I think I took this one on programme P, as I was experimenting with different settings at the time.

Thanks for taking a look.

Cheers Dawn.

I think this is a better f/stop/exposure combo - it works really well with a nice crisp image, sharper than yesterdays.

And the inclusion of the restaurant/viewpoint adds a lot of interest to the whole scene. Lovely image.

Finally, after all the photos of Queenstown over the years this one is different. Thank you Dawn,
Diane

Yes Dawn, I agree with Pudipie-you have given us a different view of Queenstown! I like how the curving path in the foreground, takes our eye to the A frame, onto the tourists who are enjoying that fantastic view below. Excellent colour and composition. Bravo!

Hello Dawn.
A wowow Picture.!
Beautiful scenery from an excellent point of view.
ps. As I told Janice to, My Nephew and his wife from NZ are emigrated to NZ last month, They bought a house opposite Wellington (Eastborne)
As Pepijn is a webdesigner, He made a kind of family album at www.homepage.mac.com/saltedkiwi

Hi Dawn
This place is superb and so beautiful. It look like paradise. And your photo are showing it to us with such great composition and quality. I like how your are showing us the restaurant and the superb view. Very well done.
Kind regards

Hi Dawn

From what you have shown us, the view from up there must fantastic!!! Beautifully composed even if you did take it in P mode (which I take nearly all my photos in that mode)!

Very well done!

What a shot! Look at those details, it is technically perfect. I like the composition very much, the eye goes along the path and the form the terrace you enjoy the whole scenery.

Lovely shot Dawn, what a beautiful landscape, bet the meal in the restaurant is yummy too, :) I like the POV and sharpness, never been there before but with your photos, I sure going to make it my next place to visit.

Cheers,
Sweety

Excellent photo Dawn showing those colours of New Zealand which I noticed on the trip I made in 2004. Lovely outlook, good detail. TFS, David
