Very dynamic image, and the composition and processing are spot-on (as always).

I agree 100% - well done! It's an excellent use of the oft-overused near/far composition.

Excellent constrast between the dynamic sky and the solid rock of the fossil sands. Composition is spot-on as is processing.

Very good B&W. Would like to see the colour version too.

Vieri, this is image has a lot of drama in it. It would look fantastic printed large and might win a prize. I hope that you have a gallery exhibit one day.

I really like the contrast between the softer clouds and the rest of the photo. I think this is a great perspective and composition.

Thank you very much Bob for your very kind comment, much appreciated, I am glad you enjoyed it! :D

Thank you very much Peter, very kind of you! I love using ultra-WA and the near-far when it works, but as you say it is much used (or overused) and it's not always easy to understand when to deploy it... :D

Excellent constrast between the dynamic sky and the solid rock of the fossil sands. Composition is spot-on as is processing.

Thank you very much Francois for your very nice comment, I am glad you enjoyed the rock-cloud contrast, which was the idea behind the image! :D

Very nice, very satisfying.


Thank you very much Eric, much appreciated! :D

Thank you very much, the Fossil Sands on Arran are an incredible place, very inspiring if you are looking for that kind of compositions (lines, textures, etc) :D

Very good B&W. Would like to see the colour version too.

Thank you very much Paulo! There actually isn't a colour version, the scene was pretty much monochromatic and I "saw" it in B&W before even photographing it :D

Vieri, this is image has a lot of drama in it. It would look fantastic printed large and might win a prize. I hope that you have a gallery exhibit one day.

Thank you very much Sean, you are very kind indeed! :D The photo looks great printed, I have an A2 print that is just gorgeous and I think it will enlarge further without any problem. I always print my finished images, it's my way to declare them complete, so to speak ;) About the gallery exhibit, I am working on it - hopefully soon... fingers crossed!
