Cleft of the Rock

An old photo of mine (taken in 2004), reprocessed.

Seeing the potential for the shot developing in front of me, I ran to catch this silhouette just at the right moment – twiddling camera settings on the hoof, not much post-processing required.

Taken on the approach to Dunnottar Castle near Stonehaven.

Contains a primate of the species homo sapiens.
