Title: Pūrākaunui Falls
Post by: Harald L on March 31, 2014, 06:44:18 am

A few days ago Kevin posted a nice picture of a waterfall of New Zealand. I've just made a picture of Pūrākaunui Falls which isn't the biggest but the most iconic waterfall of New Zealand located in the Catlins.

C&C welcomed

Harald

Very nice tourist shot.

Damning with faint praise?

No, producing an honest critique, which seems to have become damned rare on here. It's a very pretty picture, but, as Walker Evans once said when presented with a similar photograph, "So what?"

Thank you, Russ! Serious.

Been there, seen that and made an decent picture of it. Let's face it, like most of the other members here I'm not a professional but an amateur who likes to travel the world. So I'm a tourist. If I would rate my picture as art I would post them under "But is this art". So what?
