This is an old picture that I keep coming back to. I would like to know what you think about it.

Thanks
William

Nice shot William!

Where exactly is this spot?
Somewhere in the Western Cape, I presume?

Hi Tony!
No, it is here in Natal. The only place, as far as I know, where you can drive onto the "Little Berg". Turn off the old N1 at Nottingham Road to Kamberg.

We are moving down to the Western Cape in the new year...different country!

A nice image and a good composition. I would prefer a little more contrast, especially in the highlights but it is fine as it is. :)

Great tones, lots of detail and movement despite the main subject being centrally located.

+1 for the contrast but more importantly +1 for the overall approval.
OP has shown a very good eye here and brought a very interesting image to the board. Well done.
