Hamilton Island, Australia

Please comment on exposure, is it too dark?
Please comment on composition, I purposely placed the rock on the left in shot to 'start the image' rather than leave a vacant foreground. I got down low to include the grass to also lead the viewers eye to the green.

Hello,

I'm having trouble viewing your image, maybe there's a problem with attachments again. You could upload it to a website (like Flickr, Imageshack, etc.) and show it here.

Me, too. Just looking at the colors in the thumbnail, there's a lot of promise. Have it hosted somewhere else, then link to it here. I'm looking forward to taking a better look at it!

Hopefully you can now all see it at this link.

The colors are nice. Do you have some EXIF data? It helps when commenting on your photo, plus I think the DPS mods require it.

I think the foreground rock does help. You have a lot of nice colors, but I do find the shot a little dark. That can be easily fixed, though. Nice shot overall. It looks like I could lose a lot of balls on that hole, but the scenery would help alleviate the pain.

In the future, please include your exif data in the original post, not "upon request."

This is a beautiful image, the sky is amazing and you have a decent foreground and a background. I would just try to tweak the exposure a bit, maybe brighten it up a little.

I think the colours are a little over saturated personally. I was reading an article by one of the top landscape photographers (a judge in this years Photographer of the Year competition) who complains that people often substitute oversaturating their colours for poor composition, and you end up with colours that you never find in nature. He says that when you start to move away from nature, you start to move away from Photography and into the realms of Digital art.. Still a legitimate art form, but you need to decide where your work lies, does it stand up on its own as a photograph? If so, you should keep the colours as close to realism as possible.

In this case, the composition stands on its own, I think it's a well constructed picture, in which case, I suggest you desaturate the colours a little so that they resemble reality. If reality is those colours, I'm moving

You better start packing up Australia is surrounded with images like that.
