Petra,

Thanks! Hey, are you in Canberra, now? Come up to Stromlo for a meeting and we'll catch up! Also, get a 5D Mark II.

Jason,

Thanks, for looking and commenting!

Yep, love the glow on Mount Cook itself. Just wish it was on /my/ side!

You're absolutely right about the stream feeling a little abrupt and doesn't really add much to the composition. Perhaps if I was a bit higher, a bit more perspective would have added just that little something extra. Refer to the link below in my reply to Rolf.

Hard to critique this, the only thing that comes to mind is I find myself wanting to see a bit more of the stream or whatever it is in the mid of the frame, but this is knitpicking.

Gotta love those mornings that are so deadly still and quiet, feels like you're the only person on earth - very liberating. Love it mate, well done

Rolf,

Glad you like it, mate. You live in paradise!

I do have another image, this shot got me shortlisted for the Digital Camera Photographer of the Year competition (landscape category) for 2010.

The Cloud Piercer Rests.

Thanks, mate.

Do you have a close up of Aoraki? I'm sure it would look absolutely magnificent in your rendition.

Thanks, all.
