On the Edge #1
Posted by DaveB (Exeter, United Kingdom) on 7 March 2008 in Landscape & Rural and Portfolio.
This was taken at Portland Bill in Dorset ages ago, back last summer I think. I didn't like it at the time but played around with it some yesterday. To get this effect, I used the split toning function in PS's RAW converter to max out the highlights with sepia. I did the shadows aswel, but not to the same extent, and I'm quite pleased with the result!
As always, comments are welcome, particularly those offering feedback and criticism on my images! (It's the only way I'll learn!) :)

Very interesting silhouettes and one does not expect to see peopl up theis gigantic rock and straight away wonder, how did they get there? Must be a wonderful view up there for sure!

@ManuelaR: Although you can't see it, there are hand-holds in the rock-face, so it's about a 5m climb up there!

Superb shot. I like the figures on top and how they are silhouetted. Great capture.

Wow - a superb silhouette. I often thought about something like this with a rock and the sea in the background. Very well done. Thanks for sharing...
