Title: Hellshoogte Road
Post by: William Walker on May 28, 2014, 01:55:25 pm

I have just got back from a trip to the Western Cape - perhaps this picture may illustrate why the call it "the fairest Cape".

I hope you like it it.

Lovely pastoral image.

On a technical side, I think vignetting might be too strong, creating "muddiness" in the upper parts of the sky.

I agree Slobodan - In my haste I forgot to do the "Lens Correction" - I did not add any vignetting to start with. Thanks.

That's really nice. It cries out for a really big print.

Absolutely gorgeous!
That road is full of spectacular vistas - another reason to start feeling homesick again!

Bravo, William! That one almost could be a Constable. Very, very nice.

I'm looking forward to my daughters wedding which will be celebrated in Stellenbosch in December. Your really nice great picture makes me much more impatient.

A really engaging image, I agree print size would really open this up to full enjoyment.
