    St Bathans with sheep

    St Bathans is an interesting gold mining town in New Zealand. The gold mining has left these very interesting looking lakes and surrounds.

    Almost didn't spot the sheep at first, needs a bit of separation from the land. Nice effort.

    This is another of those images which needs to be seen with the Lightbox setting to get the full impact. It looks much better then and the sheep becomes obvious.

    I agree it looks much better when using Lightbox, well seen and captured Jim

    Re: St Bathans with sheep

    Thanks everyone for your nice comments and feedback. Re the comments about Lightbox, this is completely new to me. Have just spent a little time researching. It seems that Lightbox is tied in with smartphones and stock photos? Am guessing that you might be referring, Geoff and Peter, to viewing on cellphones where the screen is smaller. Would like to learn more so if anyone can point me to a relevant website that would be great.

    The 'Lightbox' setting here, Jim, means hovering your mouse pointer over an image until a magnifying glass symbol appears, then clicking the image. That shows a full resolution larger image. In some cases, like this photo, the 'Lightbox' view makes a big difference to the clarity.

    I kinda like the texture of the rocks, Jim...nice view...almost did'nt find the sheep but yes, lytebox view is better...one great use of the magnifying glass that I use is move the image from side to side or top to bottom to determine the best crop, too. Handy little thing to know..
