Oberon Morning

As far south on the Australian mainland as you can go is Wilsons Promontory National Park, one of Australia's real gems. It was the most rewarding 24 hours I've had in Australia since coming here in January.

To get this shot, I woke pre-dawn and hiked up to the top of Mount Oberon to catch the sunrise, which was one of the best I've ever had the pleasure to witness. You could slowly watch the fog moving in and creeping up the mountain, and this was my last shot before the fog completely obstructed the views. While choosing a favourite photo from that morning is impossible, I'm quite happy with this one, even though it doesn't have the sunrise colours or grand vistas of my others.

As I'm new to processing photos with my macbook pro, please let me know what you think.

Very interesting light and I love the patterns in the fog. Fascinating place.

Awesome scene, well captured. The tree is a nice touch and adds a lot to the composition. Wonderful lighting on the clouds.

I haven't seen too many shots from this location that didn't show the view! But you came away with something even more memorable. Nothing I can see I would contemplate changing.

Pretty lovely scene. Think I would give the tree just a bit more room on the right side but overall works. Love the clouds in the bg
