Thanks Jason, the X100 is quite a surprising camera! I wonder if the manufacturers ever thought it would be used for these kind of images.

Thanks Mike, really glad you like the foreground/sky balance, I spent a bit of time trying to get that right. I'm not sure if it's any good composition wise though, I was just walking along the road and plonked the camera down and started shooting

Yeah, the Flinders Ranges are amazing! It was well worth the trip for us.

Thank you very much Greg. Am really glad you like it.
I used a brush to add contrast to the sky to darken it and I did a pretty sloppy job on keeping it off the ground. I'll do it again and try and make it cleaner.

Cheers
