Description
21st and finally addition to the Australia series.I saved this shot for last because it's one of my favourites.
This was taken on Phillip Island which is just off the coast of mainland Australia in th state of Victoria. On Phillip Island penguins come to hang out, breed etc. There's also some nice coastal formations, the Nobbies, the Seal Rocks, and the Blowhole; all three can be seen in this shot. It was windy as hell, the weather was dramatic too but for a few moments the sun peered out from behind the clouds which allowed me to get this shot. Luckily there was some mist spreading over some of the land which obscured walkways which makes the shot seem free of any human intrusion.

excellent stuff. great capture. just a few details:
the composition is excellent. just that the right hand side of the little cliff seems underexposed. i thnk that was because of the flare on the right. i think in cases like this, having a flare hood helps. i personally don't own one, but i guess it can come in useful.
otherwise, pretty good

Perfectly captured. You can almost smell the salt and peat. Even the sun glare works for me.

I don't know there is just something peacefully serene about this.

This is a wonderful ending piece. I probably would've use it too. The sea and sky. It really makes me wish I was there.

Heavenly is a nice word for this. It reminds me very much of one of those photoshop created wallpapers of scenery. It's very serreal
