Thanks mate. I hadn't noticed the clouds before, they do detract, but they were there, so my inclination is to leave them.
This was shot at the Booroomba Rocks in Namadgi National Park. The start of the walking track is only a 20 minute drive from home. It's a beautiful spot, but a hell of a steep walk up there. I'm planning on taking the K10D and 67 up there this summer...that'll be hard work!
