Very good use of the light too - and I agree with all of the comments already made.

Thanks all for the ideas and comments, they're good value as usual .

3+ hours drive from Melbourne, I wish it was closer for a re-shoot. The view is over Lake Corangamite, and I agree Tim, it could be better (it's fairly desolate).

Then again, shooting an old shepherd's hut is probably something best done on a Christmas Eve anyway .

Thanks everyone for your comments. The sight of a traffic sign in a sea of grass, with not a road in sight, was too much of a temptation. A ghost town it was.

I bent down intentionally so that the grass and seed-heads were a feature in the image.

The processing was a nod to a Stephen King story called 'Children of the Corn' (only he could write something like that ).

Thank you gents, I liked your idea too Ken - this crop does take away the distraction from the light through the door -

I'm seeking your opinions on these two crops please - any thoughts?

Any other C&C welcome too of course, as always.

Urbangear U120, made by Naneu Pro.

Has space for full sized notebook, K10 fitted with 50-135, my remaining lenses and the 540 flash.

Good thing about this one is that it has an external carrier system on one side for the tripod.

Additionally, the inside compartment is an insert to the backpack, and has its own carry-handle. The insert is small enough for carry-on, meaning the (now-empty) backpack can be filled with other stuff that you are comfortable leaving to the mercy of baggage handlers et al.

G'day and welcome, and all the best for the festive season.

G'day and welcome, amd all the best for the festive season to you also.

G'day and welcome - good choice of camera too.

G'day and welcome. All the best for the festive season as well.
