[QUOTE="hark, post: 229064, member: 13196"] I had to laugh when I read the thread's title. I'm not sure if Australia ever caught the craze, but there was a time here in the US when [URL="http://www.petrock.com/"][COLOR=#0000ff]pet rocks[/COLOR][/URL] were popular! Seriously...they were advertised on TV like chia pets. ;) I like the lighting on the rock, but as the others have said, the composition needs work. That background looks spectacular. Since there isn't any way to tell how big the rock is, was it something you could get over or around to capture the background without your rock? I can't tell exactly what is in the background--is it sky, a mountain top, or water (the whitish, bluish thing to the left of [I]Rocky[/I])? Or maybe it is fog nestled around something? Anyway...I commend you for going out and just shooting something. After reading your other post about your lack of motivation, I kind of like your rock, Scott! A [I]spur of the moment[/I] shot without getting weighed down with all the technical stuff. :) I think you are in a transition phase where you are about to move from concentrating too much on technique to having technique become second nature thus allowing your creativity to blossom. I really do. :encouragement: It has to do with the learning process and the steps to mastery. The more we know, the more we realize we don't know. Take a look at this graphic which shows the learning process: [ATTACH=CONFIG]62039._xfImport[/ATTACH] [/QUOTE]
