Taken just after dawn on Gnarabup Beach, in Western Australia's Margaret River region.

A novelty for me to see the sun not rising over the ocean as it does on the east coast.

Looks much better on black, so press L to check out the details of this impressive west coast sunrise.

As always, comments appreciated, but please no award codes or banners.

Same ramp and pier as preceding shot, same foggy head, only in colour.

Looks best up large on black so press L to see what I mean.

Comments, as always, are appreciated, but please no flashy award codes.

Taken on a weekend trip to one of Australia's premier wine producing districts, Western Australia's Margaret River. Here, a boat ramp and jetty at Gnarabup, just after dawn. This was a tough shot to get for a couple of reasons - the foggy head after an amazing dinner at the sublime (highly recommended) Leeuwin Estate (whose Art Series Chardonnay is Australia's finest) and the heavy traffic of boat launches at a very early hour.

Another view on this quaint old stone cottage in the middle of a field just outside of Queenstown, New Zealand.

Looks best large on black so press L.

A second shot from my first shoot in the water - only got two shots really - its much harder than I thought in the water. Anyway, this kid was happily standing on a submerged rock in the middle of Bronte's Bogey Hole, in between sets that roll in.
