Beautiful exposure
Rhana Griffin
Are you ok? Did you slip and fall on your bottom? I wish I had been there to see that if so
Whatever trials your lack of torch gave you, was well worth it ;)

A torch – you must be shitting me. This is just perfect as it is. The darkness of the foreground rocks frames it perfectly and the contrast with the white wash of the seaswell couldn’t be better. This is moody and magnificent my friend.
Mel Brackstone replied
Nah, I needed the torch to GET to here….managed to take a tumble on the rough path….lol! Thanks :)
John Pitman

micmac
WOW!!!
Stuart Chapman
Beautiful tones Mel. Love the crimonsesque tint to the clouds as they hang over the scene and the small light just hitting those rocks is nice and peaceful as the waves crash against their ruggedness.
The whole scene frames and sits around that band of light, culminating in the rising sun on the horizon.
p.s. torches – p’ah! Haven’t you got night vision yet?
Mel Brackstone replied
I wish!!! Thanks Stuart for your marvellous comment :)
Joanne Bradley
Woinderful sky, water and rocks!

Contrast in texture of the rocks and water is appealing. Love the colour in the sky.
