LLama Rocks

[mushy]

Sorry no pictures of LLama's and no rock shaped like a LLama but its a small rocky outcrop located near a llama farm.

Cheers for looking, all critique welcomed
ps The ISO was set too high so some shots were grainy, any ideas on the easiest way to clean these up??

Boy THAT bolt will keep you off the ground. http://dgrin.com/images/smilies/yelrotflmao.gif Any reason it was placed so low?

Good stuff. Nice to see that it isn't cloudy and raining EVERYWHERE in the world. Sure is here. http://dgrin.com/images/smilies/bncry.gif

He's actually standing back on a higher up rock, but you are right it is a little deceptive.
Hopefully this picture clears it up a touch!.

Yup clears it up nicely, that bolt is too low to stop you hitting that rock (not the ground as first thought) :rofl .

pretty cool shots there though, lot of arse shots as well though (one of my pet dislikes of climbing photography), if I cannot find another angle I will generally not take a picture ... unless it is a 'memorable moment' that needs recording.

No discourage intended there though, just my opinion on angles (take or leave :D).
