[Octane (Humayun)]

Chris,

Thank you so much for your very, very kind and humbling words. :blush:

I will have ten days of holidays coming up (end of year shutdown) and would like to do some more coastal stuff. Perhaps, even down south.

I've entered two photographic competitions in my life. One are the Malin's, and, one is the Digital Camera Photographer of the Year awards. Well, the Malin's came up trumps and I made a shortlist for the landscape category of the latter.

As you know, I do these for myself, but, if someone likes my work and wants to pay me for a print, as an artist, what more could I possibly ask for as a compliment?

Thanks, again!

I know and understand what makes a good competition photo, and cute & interesting doesn't do it. Technique does. Humayun, you have it in spades. You need to go and enter into high-level competitions were they know what they're looking for. You'd give them a god shakeup for sure. I wish I had half your talent, I really do. I look up to few photographers, my late father being one. You're on the list...

Great shot. I was there, and I saw the three hands you used to capture it.

Ric,

Thanks, matey. It is a very peaceful scene.

The larger version definitely does it justice.

Glad you like it, matey.

Troy,

Thanks, buddy! In winter time, those rocks are bare. Come spring and summer, they're full of seaweed and algal growth. It's like walking on a slippery carpet.

Thanks, guys!
