@bluerose15 Its a sculpture using Oamaru Stone - the historic buildings of Oamaru in NZ have a very classic design! Thanks for asking!

Great composition, it certainly is a view to give pleasure. Looks even better on black.

i like the gateway feeling here.

[Kim Harper]

Your lighting and shadows are perfect here. Gives the photo such mystery and interest. Plus, I love to see the snow - can't wait until we get some here. Still a few months away though.

I love the way you've composed this Maggiemae and it is a beautiful scene.

[Gillian]

I'm scared to ask ... is this the real scene? or a bit of MM madness? If real, it's fabulous. If your mind ... well it/s still fab but ... ;/)

[Maggiemae]

@kwiksilver It is a real scene but I created a vignette to try and hide the ugly timber yard in front.

[Gillian]

So one can really see that glorious piece of i-forget-what-rock-youve-mentioned-before in front of that glorious backdrop???

[Maggiemae]

@kwiksilver Yep, Gillian - you have to stand in the right place to get that high mountain between the gap in the trees!

[Maggiemae]

@kwiksilver ....and its Oamaru Stone - unique to the area

[Skip Tribby - ​🖖]

Great composition!

[Jane Pittenger]

wonderful framing to give context. nice light. full moon on the mountains?

[Maggiemae]

@jgpittenger No it wasn't Jane - it was midday sun and I just darkened the bottom part to try and hide the ugly Timber Yard to the right!

[Gena Pegg]
