Settlers Wall
by Anthony McAvoy
Adelaide is one of the few cities in Australia that was not settled by convict labour.
Settled by Europeans in 1836, we live in the driest state on the driest continent on earth.
It is a time of drought and this 'settlers wall', was made in those early times before modern day machinery.
It is a sign of the difficulties of new settlement and their tenacity to succeed.
Equipment: Canon 30D

It is a nice image. I like the colours and perspective. However it appears to have been far too over-sharpened and manipulated.

Multiple exposures? The colors look fantastic
Terry Everson
I like everything about this photo, (not just because I`m an Aussie) The composition, lighting and it is just so sharp.
Jacob Maentz
I really like your perspective and the light in this image. The colors are great! Really nice image.

I like the dark sky a lot (I guess you used a filter)and the composition and POV are great too. I do agree with Ann, the picture is oversharpened and doesn’t look 100% real anymore. Especially the grass on the lefthandside suffered from the extreme sharpening.

nice shot~>the clouds, the colours!

I really like it a lot, as well, but it does appear enhanced, no matter how ya slice it. I don’t know the ‘hows’ and/or the ‘whys’ of this, but the lasting effect is off, and seemingly surreal (was that the photographer’s intent?). The image remains interesting, especially with the historical and geographic content.
Pauline Jones
I like the shot but it appears to be over saturated.
Tom Brooklyn
A bit heavy handed on the post processing I think. Might have been a bit more interesting to get a bit more of the wall on the right too.

A dense cloud cover in the driest state of the driest continent!
I like the way the eye is drawn to the wooden pole, aided by the Wide angle perspective
