Pinnacles #2 +repost

The Pinnacles in Western Australia was about a 5000 km drive from our place so we decided to go back again the following evening while still in the neighbourhood. The sky was more cooperative and the winter evening light was as good, if not better than the night before.

Interesting shapes and light. I would prefer the completion of shadows front and back of main rock as far as composition. This is a personal preference of my style and just suggestion. :toast:

Love the gold/blue combo here. The light makes it shine.

I like the composition - the repeated formations receding into the background provide a great sense of depth. Once again the blue and gold combination works well. I do think that I would prefer the sky a bit brighter - the blues seem too deep as if from polarization and I would expect to see some brighter highlights in the clouds. Otherwise this is very nice.

Very nice composition and textures in this Neale. The blue and golds go together nicely. Only thing I would change would be to tone down the brightest areas on the midground rocks a little. Beautifully done.

Nice image and good composition. The lower left corner is a bit empty and you may consider vignetting a bit.

Thanks for the useful comments folks, in this re-post I've tried darkening those b/g rocks a little and addressed the polariser issue in the sky,
I feel these have both helped the image.
