Description

I'm not a religious person I just thought that this title would fit. I took this shot with my old HP1.3MP cam at a work function. We had a potjie at our local Shongweni Dam and this shot came out so fantastically with the sun rays I was browsing thru and thought I had to post the pic here. What is a Potjie? Imagine a stew that you cook in a pot that looks like a witches cauldron over the fire for 5-6 hours. Have it with rice or bread and it's damn good. Postwork: colour balance and brightness/contrast... Thanx for viewing and comments always welcome. P.S. than you to all that viewed and commented on my previous pic, you're all so generous.

Nice photo PeeWee. Must have taken a while to get that just right.. Shongweni! Love that place. Walked through the tunnel in the water! Was great. Poitjie - my fav food. Meat so tender it crumbles in your mouth and the explosion of flavours from all the spices and extras. Yummy

Oooh, i like what you did here PeeWee!!! Looks really cool!!! I would however had chosen a different color for your frame. Preferably white or black. Just my humble opinion of course. Great job nevertheless!!! Have a wonderful day #:O)

What a wonderful shot and title! Agree with Andreas about the framing... IMHO I would take the brown tone from the image or a simple white frame. Anyway a beautiful image... brava, gal!

Ops...Thanks for commenting, because this ebot went missing.Both sunlight and expressions do this justice.I don't mind the frame as is. Gives contrast.

A wonderful capture, sun rays can be so elusive at times, captured very nicely!

I would be interested to know how the rays ended up like this... do you remember what you did. An interesting image, though you probably have a few more skills these days to really get more out of this - shadow/highlight, curves, and exposure perhaps...?
