Last PCs from the Gold Coast

[Alan]

A Dawn Wave at Snapper Rocks



Cropped and noisy (in more ways than one) view of Surfers Paradise from the unit. The Norfolk Island Pines in foreground were the roosting place to 10000 Rainbow Lorikeets - at least

The noise was deafening for an hour at sunset.



Thanks for indulging me

Cheers

haven't been to Snapper Rocks for several years now...real nice break there
That shot of the GC is not so bad...normally the haze is so bad it can be barely
seen.

These are really great Alan, they will be a wonderful reminder of your holiday

Two beautiful shots Alan, each in their own way.

#1 - a moment perfectly caught. The color, light, PP spot on. The white of the surf - I can almost hear it. Great composition.

#2 - what an interesting take on what could easily be a cliche.

OK. Here it comes. My suggestions. As soon as I saw it I thought: That Norfolk Is Pine has to go! Potentially an interesting counterpoint in the shot, but has to go.

Also - the sky. Would benefit from a bit of a gradient to darken and bring out the detail in the clouds. And maybe a bit more contrast/black in the buildings, although this may change the character of the shot too much. Not sure.

PS What do you mean "Last PCs from the Gold Coast"? You mean last ones till you go back in a week or two! I know what you retired blokes are like. Life is one big party alternating with holidays. Get a job!!

I knew someone would complain about the pine (that's why it's in this forum - you never learn - I don't mind though) - Mrs C wanted it left in, and who am I to disagree - but as you say, it's a counter point and has a reference in the intro.

I certainly hope they are not my last - July in Noosa is looking good

A job !! You're starting to sound like Mrs C

Cheers



I k are enjoying work
