beautiful shot. You're using filters - may I ask what system you're using? I'm looking into getting some myself, and could use some advice

The detail on the rocks is pretty good. And the intense colors capture the viewers attention. The sky is a bit poor, but we never control those aspects, and I know that so well from my latest DA photo.
Overall is indeed one more great capture my friend. Congrats

amazing colour and the simplicity of the composition is brilliant.
Ive never had that happen to me before...what filters do you use?

It's not the filters, but the adaptor ring that screws onto the lens. The Cokin Z Pro holder (Hougaard uses it, I used to...it holds Lee filters but it's half the price of the Lee holder) has "Cokin Z Pro 77mm" written in huge white letters on the front of the adaptor ring. At extreme wide angles on vertical shots, that writing reflects off the back of the filter and down into the lens, giving you this ghostly writing along the bottom of the image. I noticed it on a vertical shot last year and was like "WTF?", until I realised that it read "Cokin" backwards and upside-down.
I solved the issue by painting the lettering out with black paint, but I've since upgraded to a Lee holder and ring, which is much better.
I just noticed it Hougaard's shot because I got into the habit of noticing it on my own. He's done a great job of removing it though.

thats a huge design flaw. Im hoping to upgrade to Lee filters in the near future so il bear that in mind
