This is another one from Lyme Regis, standing on a limestone pavement looking down the beach. To the left, you can see a cliff of alternating bands of mudstones and limestones. The mudstones weather to clay, while the limestones remain strong, so you get instability and collapse, which leads to lots of lovely limestone blocks filled with fossils!
Constructive criticism (or just downright criticism!) is welcome and appreciated for all my shots!
Due to the fact that I'll be working on site in Scotland for the forseeable future, I probably won't be able to respond to comments straight away, but will try my best, and will definitely get back to you eventually!
As always, feedback and constructive criticism will be greatly appreciated!

It has a very tactile feel. The colors are so authentic. The composition superb. The sky interesting. It's like an actual visit to the beach.

@MaryB: So do I Mary, I saw a few Ammonites on this trip, but they were in pretty bad shape and I didn't have my rock-hammer with me!
Dave, I really like this one. Your point of view is great - looks like you were close to the earth. Love the cliff in this one -- and the dark rock (?) in the foreground.

@martie: Thanks Martie, and it is rock in the foreground, one of the mudstone / clay layers!
Fantastic shot, well done. The angle is great (must have got your knees wet)

@Graham Russon: I think they survived this shot Graham, but I got caught in the surf not long after!
I like the angle too... Makes the shot more interesting!

Love the pov! That sweeping sky is brilliant with the stone in the immediate foreground... the sense of depth is perfect! I feel like I'm there.
