This is awesome, the way the light illuminates the valley in the back and leaves the front in the shadows. I'm looking forward to more images - if they are as beautiful as this one, they need not be from Australia ;-)

Thank you Mia. I’m not a prolific poster but there certainly will be more.

Sure is a smasher Robert...nowt 'Cranky' about this one.....Awesome differences in the tones from the sun and the shadows...good capture my friend, I'm sure Terri will be delighted with it...as the rest of are............

wow this is beautiful, almost leaves me speechless!! of course i love the lighting in this shot, it is so dramatic and beautiful. and the colors are perfect, the many different shae of green and yellow, truly incredible. i really like how i can see the mountains going on forever but just by their silhouettes. my friend was lucky enough to visit australia, and i was jealous before, but now...i can hardly contain myself i wish i could be there right now!! great capture, into my favs! ~abby

How gorgeous this is Robert. So full of lovely light and a great capture. Outstanding. Thanks for sharing this beauty. Anita

Thank you Abby and Anita.

lovely shot, so peaceful :)

what a wonderfull yellow, warm, lighting. A terrific view Trisb

*Cranky Corner* - what a great name! Awesome contrast between the sunlight on the mountains, and the dark foreground. Wonderful light, lemon custard colored sky. The dark green trees in the foreground add more beauty. Super capture of a lovely view. More of Australia, please. Thanks Robert :))

A perfect 10 in my opinion, wonderful picture :-)

Thank you everyone.

Superb scene Robert! Well done my friend!

Thank you Christopher.

I need to stop coming in so late to post my comments. Everyone else takes the words right outof my mouth !!!! I certainly wouldn't call this "cranky". Made me feel great just looking at it. Nicely done.

Great shot Robert. Love the golden hue and the subtle foreground. Nicely done. Cranky Corner eh? I suppose owd Bowb and myself would fit right in there. *Whispering* Speaking of owd Bowb.... is it just me or has he gotten uglier? He could stop a charging Rhino.

Hi Robert. I like how the sun light shades on the far and the shadows create good deapth all over. Lovely shot.

Nicely done Robert! I love the colors and the detail.

Jackie

Thank you, all of you.

This is a wonderful looking morning and It is great to see some of the great views that we have to offer from Australia. You have captured this image very well. Great work

Thank you Jason.

This is what I have suspected - it must be Robert. I have found this mood evoking picturesque photo in the voting booth, my friend. And you scored top high! Well deserved!

Thank you Ewa, you are too kind :-)

Exceptional capture of a mood as well as a place.

First rate.

Thank you Russ.

GAK!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I am soooo late viewing this...but so honored to have found this! THANKS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! What a truly beautiful place! { 120 comments and views left to go}...
what a nice break to have seen this! :)

straight into my faves and hard drive!

Thanks Terri, I’m glad you found it.

Great work on capturing the natural beauty. The colors are easy on the eyes, the long views thru the valleys give the image depth and the foggy backdrop adds alittle mystery.
Thanks for posting this one. Its a keeper!......tim

Thank you Tim.

Thank you Pathe.

Wow. I LOVE this image, the lighting is SUPERB! Goes straight to my faves, thanxs for sharing!!! :-D

beautiful light qualities .. and from Cranky Corner, no less

I want to walk through there, without running into anything dangerous.
What a difference between Canada and the US as far as the animals and critters, etc.

Thank you Ereda, June and Keith.

This is an awesome landscape, Robert. Congrats! :-)

Thank you Pierre.

Wow what a veiw! Very pretty

Thank you Jessica :-)

I really like this picture, even the way that the border is makes it stand out. It is a very good photo.

Why thank you David, so very kind of you to say so.

This place is absolutely gorgeous. The lighting, the placement of the hills, the light mist in the sky, the greenery. . . Wonderful!

Would you mind if I might use this picture in a missions presentation in the Bible College Missions class I'm in?


P.S. I just put up two new pictures, and one more is on the way. Let me know what you think, if you have the time. If not, don't worry about it! have a great day!

Thank you. You will get a pm shortly.

It's interesting to see a splash of sunlight without seeing the sun itself. I like this, I'm gonna hold on to it.

Thank you Alex. That’s one of my favourite shots :-)

stunning! i love the streaming sunlight!
Thanks for sharing

Breathtaking! I've always wanted to see Australia. :]

Very nicely composed and photographed. Gorgeous lighting filling your scene. Great view of the landscape. Thanks for sharing.

I would call this image YIN and YANG. The dark foreground mimics the bright yellow layers in the background. Wonderful composition.
