G'day All,

The Twelve Apostles (Great Ocean Road in Victoria, Australia) have been done to death, but I haven't been down this neck of the woods since I've been into landscape photography.

    Very cool. thumb.gif I think the first one could be a little more dynamic with a little bit of a crop. I would try taking a little bit off the bottom and then cropping the top halfway between the top of the sun and the top of the existing image.

    I was thinking something more like this - just my opinion of course.

    Dev's shooting landscapes again! I love the pouring sunlight + flare, personally. I think it adds more emotion than the typical sunset or post-sunset shot. Hope you had a great time.

    I have always wanted to see the Apostles, they are on my bucket list!

    Keep shooting them! I prefer the second as well.

    Love the shadows on the first but bothered a bit by the appearance of the sun. Seems stuck between a 'star' and globe but not enough of either if that makes any sense. Could you have shot this at f/11 or were the waves too strong and needed the 4 seconds to calm them down?

    Really like the second
