on the beach at Stone Bay

this is cool but it would be totally amazing if the angle was dropped down to allow the brown to disappear and make the water and rocks the horizon. dont have a problem at all with the tilt either. looks great nicely done!

Yes, very much appeals to my sense of *design within nature* and the horizon tilt works for me also, adds a certain overall dynamic. Clearly the white rocks are an interesting subject, and looking simply stunning against the blue sky background...kudos for spotting this. Compositonally is correct, and you have been mindful to include the fabulous reflection of those rocks.

As merely an alternative thought (feel free to disregard) because I have a penchant for wide format, I can also visualise this to be heavily cropped top and bottom, thus creating a modern, more *abstract* version, depicting soley the rocks (love the form)
Would also work extremely well in BW, imho

Nice job!

Thanks Andy and xNx, Andy if I dropped down any further a would need a snorkel!!! These are only small lime deposits lying on the beach. I know what you are getting at though. xNx, I never gave what you are saying much thought and I think you are on a winner here. If you have the time would you like to play with it and show me what u mean.

Can't add anything to what the others have said, simply that I like it too, for all the same reasons

Very nice. Almost looks like a lunar landscape. I agree with trying to drop the horizon a bit - might get closer to the "rule of 3rds". Otherwise brilliant. I'd be well chuffed to have taken that.

Have the colour version too....wouldn't let me attach it up there
so here is that.

Want to delete this now..it worked up there

Nic,

That is brilliant, shows what a bit of experience can do! I really like it. Okay so now it is time to fine tune it as suggested. Cheers for that.
