Realy like the color spectrum of that shot and that lighter spot in the middle that draws the attention to the center!

This shot definitely keeps your eye. I know for me, its because the scale of these is not clear, even with the bushes. They are just far enough away to still not solve how large the rocks are. Great comp and color. Contrast would likely bring the colors of the rocks and foliage out, it appears a little gray to me. Great shot!

@Tommy: I kept the scale unclear on purpose to keep people guessing. The nature of Australian flora's a bit different to most places - our trees and bushes tend towards olive greens, grays, soft tertiaries and more muted colours.
It takes time for eyes accustomed to the brighter greens of wetter places to tune in to our odd landscape - even some who've been here for 6 generations long for the green of England :)) (like my grandmother!)
I'll play with the contrast though - thanks for the tip!! cheers
@jump: Thanks jump - it's in the same area as "Splash" and the rocks there are something to see!! So many different hues cheers Bron

I find this one oddly compelling --I guess it's the earth tones and the lighting.
