Photo Competition #23 "Natural Uncluttered Simplicity" - ends 30 Aug

By "Natural Uncluttered Simplicity" I am looking for very simple images of natural scenes forming very simple compositions of shapes, lines, colours, textures etc. Bit of an arty farty subject I know!

Try to focus on a simple composition of basic elements rather than the subject...

The example above is a sunset I took that simply divides the frame into two equal halves... with the slit of sun in between for a bit more interest...

Rules - any natural scene photographed by you at any time!

Not far off the aboriginal flag:)

Does this qualify, I like the colours, it's all natural, no touching up done.

I think that could qualify mate.. just so people don't think just sunsets heres another weird example of a nature shot showing basic shapes and lines etc... lol its a weird example and there's no reason why it couldnt include the heron's head! :)

This was taken on top of big red, this has been cause/created by 2 leaves, they are in the shot but not real visable. I found it fasinating.

This is a nice shot White d, I would like to go there soon.
Looks like that you did not have a grad filter to expose more the dark spot but in PP can ge bring more light and details into it ;)

Make your pic a jpg, resized to say 800 pixels wide.
Load it up to ImageShack® - Image Hosting (http://www.imageshack.us) (or other site)
Copy the resulting link.
Open a post at AULRO and type "" before the link and after the link. ie, http:/mypicture.jpg

Thats it.
