    Very nice, I love the wide angle, though it’s not 100% straight, but it’s not too noticible because the horizon isn’t just the ocean. Good job.

    Good to see you out and about mate… back to those early morning starts at the sea front… I bet it beats cahnging nappies at 3am!
    Very nice work here mate, love the colours in this, the blues tones with just that small amount of pink behind the cliffs is wonderful. Great composition too, with some good foreground interest.

    Oh, wow. This is truly wonderful, Stuart. Amazing how you have captured the glow from the docks of Dover.
    The water is amazingly captured, and the white cliffs are most beautiful. I was there sometime many years ago – it wasn’t half as beautiful as it is here.

    I love the way the lights from the docks of Dover give the impression of the suns glow as it rises. In fact had I not read your description that’s pretty much exactly what I would have thought it was!
