These hard quartzite rock mills are in the surf zone at Tea Tree Bay, Noosa. The largest one is about a metre across and about 1.5 metres deep.
Lots of good submissions this month, but the Rock Mills by @Maris stood out to me. Congratulations!

Thanks for all the kudos on Rock Mills. In a sense it was an easy shot. Photographing in the 8X10 format is slow but the rocks are not going anywhere this side of geological time.
The anxious part was setting the camera up over an unforgiving void, then accessing the ground glass for focussing while not falling into the hole, and finally checking the inaccessible shutter settings with a mirror.
All done safely in a pleasant half hour.
Congratulations to Maris! We're 4 days into April. Lets get the boat in the water!
There's our new subject!!!I’m not seeing an April shooting assignment, hopefully the boat hasn’t broken apart on the rocks.
