Holy cow the gold colours in the first are beautiful and the blue in the second makes for a nice contrast in colour. Lovely and sharp, no. 1 is a cracker.

Geez that golden light adds to the first one mate. Ripper.

[Barkly]

#2 for me. A cracker.

[avkomp]

nice light in both of these.
the lines in the first really trip me out though,
my mind cant process what is going on. is perhaps a function of me being an old dude

good details in the 2nd too.
perhaps tight in the frame but a matter of taste

the downward angle gives a nice b/g too.

I was at wentworth falls yesterday too.
the other side from the lake though. tableland stuff

[Alan]

Thanks Guys - and Kath

Stephen, I was on the other side too - (taking panos) and waiting for a Lyrebird to come out of cover - and then a group of tourists with kids came past, and the bird packed up and ran off to a less public place - grrr.

I managed a few quick pics of a Yellow Robin which came to see if the Lyrebird left any snacks.

Cheers

[avkomp]

is a wonder we didnt bump into each other.

the otherside is surprisingly scenic and has a general lack of tourists, which is a big plus if you ask me

Crikey, that new lens is certainly a winner Alan, they are stunning.
