Daves View
A Rocky Road
Posted by DaveB (Exeter, United Kingdom) on 1 March 2009 in Landscape & Rural.
Some parts of this shot (the dodgy sky and the remanants of flare I haven't been able to clone out) annoy me, I still really like this one; this was taken at the far end of a cave in Tintagel, Cornwall. I think I was the only one there who braved the 20ft scramble over a rock-pool to get here, but it was worth it!
As always, comments are welcome, particularly those offering feedback and criticism on my images! (It's the only way I'll learn!) :)

Rock pool scrambling sure paid off . . the rocks here have a tangible weight pressing upon us in the image.

Great shot, the sky adds drama and didn't notice the flare, until you pointed it out.

Like the rendering of the texture of these massive rocks and the dramatic atmosphere.
