Like Alun I love the footprints leading the eye in, although I think the sky might be slightly oversaturated, unless it was natural!

@DaveB: Thanks Dave. I used a polarising filter in this shot, which made the sky very dark. I used your advice from the other day about the viginetting correction tool in PS. And then cropped and lightened the sky. My monitor at home is very dark, and looking at it at work, I can agree with you on the oversaturation. Thanks for the comments and your continued support.

You've obviously played a bit with this, but the end result is fantastic. Well done.

You certainly love to come back to your Table Mountain, Graham -- and no wonder! I really like the way you've used the curving line of footprints to lead the eye into this view. The cool bluish colour balance looks very good, too.

@Andrew Gould: Thanks Andrew. When I first came to Cape Town 20 years ago on a 6 month contract, I fell in love with the mountain, and extended my contract indefinately. So the mountain and I go back a while, I often refer to it as My Mountain. Thanks for you continued support.
