Thought I'd share this aerial photo I took of Diamond Head.

Beautiful!!!! I climbed that mountain a few years ago and the scenery from the top was spectacular. I'll be back there again in October.

Ooooooooooh, nice. Bet that looks spectacular full res! Great color and nice job of holding detail in the clouds without crushing the dark blue water (and vice versa...)

Thanks

I used a polarizing filter for this shot.

Nice shot, you don't see that angle too often.

This is beautiful! Crisp, beautiful image. The one that makes me want to go there.

One word . . . POSTCARD!

That's the first word that came to my mind as well. Nice image.

The buildings on the right seem slightly disruptive, but a very strong piece regardless.

Nice shot. Sky in particular looks a little over-sharpened? Good angle down onto the water captures some great colour, which combines with that in the sky to justify the lack of Rule of Thirds placement for the horizon. I like the rippled texture in the water. Main concern is that the front and back rows of mountains don't have a sense of distance between them... especially on the left where the tops converge briefly and the buildings are the only element strongly supporting the sense of distance between them. A time of day with different lighting, some mist or clouds etc. might add that extra element to make it all click even better.
