I was born in Zimbabwe on 03/06/88. My family, consisting of parents, older brother and sister, migrated to South Africa when I was six months old. We moved back to Zimbabwe six years later, to help my grandparents on their farm - a career change for my father.
After a measly eighteen months we upped sticks and went farming on our own. This led us to Kwekwe, in the heart of Zimbabwe, to farm tobacco! Borrowdale farm which is part of the "Midlands Black Rhino Conservancy" is where we settled . This was the most incredible experience, living with such an abundance of wild life ........... of which we became a part of during the school holidays! Due to the "land redistribution policy" we had no option but to move on.
10th November, 2001 saw us arrive in New Zealand with our former lives packed into a suitcase each, ready to start our new lives. Our first three years were spent on the South Island and I nearly froze!!!!!!! A great employment opportunity for my father had us move up to the North Island. I now live on a farm just outside Matamata aka "Hobbiton" (defrosting).
Yep that should sum it up ha!

It is subjectless you are right, but its the atmosphere you were going for which you captured perfectly ;) Hope the move goes well, i bet you are looking forward to starting the course! I'm online for a bit if you want to catch up :)

Nice. Great sense of somber mood.
CavalierLady
Wow, powerful and moody...very nice!

wonderful mood, lighting. My only thought is that you might consider moving the horizon up... or down for that matter so that it occupies 1/3 of the image. It would depend on whether you wanted to emphasize the sky or the foreground.

Ahhh..brrr. Looks so cold and lonely. :0)

Normally in a composition you don't divide the field in half but I think to every rule there are great exceptions and this is one. I would have called this "Balance Line"... You have the gray active water balancing the gray static sky (as overcast days can be) with the rather gentle dividing/diminishing line of eternal trees. Concept and Capture in balance also, well done. =)

Wonderful mood !! Well done buddy, with the use of the central balance line the horizon looks a little skewed, but it is a fab shot!

Beautiful. The trees seems to border line the coast for miles and miles. The lighting from the clouds are perfect. Excellent job. Aloha
