Also please note that, unless you state something to the contrary, other members might attempt to repost your image with their own post processing applied. We see this as an acceptable form of critique, but should you prefer that others not modify your work, this is perfectly ok, and you should state this, either within your post, or within your signature.

Hi,
a couple of different ones.
The first one is taken at Lake Wanaka and I framed it with the lamp posts.
d70s, 18-70 at 34mm, f11, 1/50s
This one is a pub on the road leading to the Cardrona ski area. A few times that I drove by, it had lots of cars but I came back in the mid-morning when most people were still on the ski hill. Thought the b&w treatment would work for this one.

click on this one for a larger version.
C&C appreciated.
cheers,
André

Andre like both of the, the framing of Lake Wanaki is good, though the scenery is so dramatic I would probably be happier without it. The B&W of Cardrona Hotel could be from 50 years ago

Love the impact of the first one Andre. Well framed and interesting. I might have cloned the yellow buoy out, but it isn't a big deal. I just gotta go there one day soon. Have to save up for a HUGE portable hard drive or something first.
Second one is great. I could sell that one for sure with a touch of sepia.  Very nice all round.

#1 falls into the over composed category for me (must be an NZ thing  ), but #2 is excellent and suits the treatment. BTW When I first saw this image I thought the sign said Garlic Whisky

Maybe I just got tired of photographing the same mountains and wanted something different  or maybe it is a NZ thing as you say  BTW When I first saw this image I thought the sign said Garlic Whisky

Probably was  It was a popular one. When I was leaving the valley and drove in front of the pub, there was about 5 photogs with their SLR's.
Thanks everyone for the comments. Now for the next holiday
Cheers,
André
