Hooker Valley, with the Hooker Glacier at the base and its terminal lake reflecting Mount Cook. Stunning scene. I find the image compositionly a bit flat (I don't really know how to explain what I mean!) but I still like the shot mainly for the memory of the place. The lighting was a bit harsh, being the middle of the day but fortuneatly the shade removed the glare that filled all my other shots of this walk.

Thanks for looking

Nick

dude, you are very quickly becoming my favourite photographer on here... the colours you achieve in your shots is unbelievable.

Thanks soooo much :) Thats a complement and a half! It is really nice to hear that sort of thing and gives me a reason to keep putting shots up on here.

you should take reason from your photos alone - just wondering. do you have a website?

I used to use another website, ephotozine (yet to upload NZ shots), but I sort of fell out of touch with it and the crowd on there. I find that I do often get a limited response on here, which is fair enough as there are some top notch photographers on this site but sometimes when I put a shot up I'm proud of and get no response it can sort of put a downer on it. But these New Zealand shots have done a lot better and really given me a bit more confidence in my work.

i see - tell me about it dude... i know what you mean... do you recommend any other sites like this at all? thers too many kids on here with 'fan art' - its taking over the place.

I would recommend ephotozine, a really good website and you do get alot more critique back. You can only upload your images really small though (600px max dimension). At some point I'll get back into that website as I learnt a lot from it.
