Default My favourite shot from New Zealand - Mitre Peak

Hey guys, me again!

It's only my second upload to flickr from my New Zealand trip, but I think I might have peaked (pun well and truely intended!!)

I struggled for a while in processing this shot to get it looking how I remembered it at the time, but I eventually got there with some genereal lightroom adjustments and a little bit of Topaz Adjust to balance the exposure.

I'd love to know what you think

Another stunning image Steve. Great perspective with the rocks down in the left corner and great reflection.

Superb again! So blue, so sharp, so rich! I hope you had stern words with the dude in the white truck. Did you think about cropping that right hand 5% or so off?

Thanks for sharing.

Yes, I agree with Preacherman, this is a Nat. Geo. shot if ever I saw one. Perfect.
