Ok, let me be honest here:
*I like landscapes
*I like sunsets
*I love weather phenomenon and cloud formations
*I tend to find images that use the classic rule of thirds pleasing...

So despite the plethora of good images (It was a pleasant task finding time to view images throughout the week) with special mentions to Ordinary K's feather shot The second image in nnnnsic's NAS protest shoot and some of Yi-P's water macros I could not go past this gem:

This has a lot I like, and not only that, IMHO the balance between exposing the sky and the land is spot on. I love way that the turbulent sky contrasts with the geometric patterns in the pineapple plantation

Congratulations Slider!

Full thread!

Oh and the colours.... Sublime!

Thanks very much folks and of course thanks to Scott for choosing my picture.

Very chuffed and just a bit humbled to have my shot chosen from the many excellent shots put up by such a very talented group of photographers. Very happy indeed am I

by **mark** on Tue May 30, 2006 11:57 am

Hi Mark

Congrats
I missed the original post for some reason, WOW they were all great.
I heard you and Finch talking on Sat about the sigma 10-20mm and in particular how you like the way that it captures the clouds. I'm glad I got to see the example.

Great choice for POTW.
Bet your glad you pulled over and took those shots.

by **stubbsy** on Tue May 30, 2006 1:02 pm

Well done Mark.

by **Marty** on Tue May 30, 2006 5:59 pm

Great shot Mate,
I dont generally like landscapes, but I definately like this shot a lot.
The use of foreground is great.
Good stuff.
Marty

by **tasadam** on Tue May 30, 2006 6:34 pm

Hey Great shot!
I like it when people leave the Exif info in images (as I do) - allows me (and all) to see some of the technique in capturing certain images.
2 stops under! I rarely go 2 stops under, only when it's a sunset or something and the sun is still out, say over water or something.
In this case, a great example of how it can work. Well done!
Now, about that 10mm lens...

by **Mitchell** on Tue May 30, 2006 6:44 pm

Nice shot Slider - love the colours and the exposure.

Is this the same field that you photographed for POTW on March 7 - or do you have a large number of photogenic fields up your way?

by **Big Red** on Tue May 30, 2006 6:50 pm

awesome pic and well deserved Mark

by **shaunus** on Tue May 30, 2006 6:51 pm

very very worthy winner

by **Manta** on Tue May 30, 2006 7:04 pm

Great work Mark. You're getting bloody good at this stuff! And not a dragonfly in sight... :wink:

A well-deserved accolade and a good choice Scott.

by **Ordinary K** on Tue May 30, 2006 7:58 pm

Congrats Mark, a well-earnt win.

And thanks to to MHD for giving it the guernsey - I missed the original post.

by **suzanneg** on Tue May 30, 2006 8:15 pm

Well done Mark. This is a classic shot, and a great pick for POTW. I have been busy at the handball all of last week so haven't caught up with posts yet!

by **Slider** on Tue May 30, 2006 8:17 pm

Wow, thanks for all the compliments folks.

Sure makes it all even more worthwhile when you do something you love and get this sort of response. Thanks again.

Mitchell, in answer to your question, no the other field was way out west near Millmerran Power Station. I don't think pineapples would do any good out there. :wink:

by **Yi-P** on Tue May 30, 2006 8:34 pm

Indeed, a very nice picture -- deserves the POTW name

I'm impressed that my water macros got mentioned here...

Thanks

by **mic** on Tue May 30, 2006 9:24 pm
