An interesting perspective. I like it though I have to also wonder how this would translate as a B&W. The rocks are so rich for it.
Yes Chris, I also thought shortly after posting this image, how a B&W version might turn out, so leave it with me and I will see what I can do
I agree with Francois that the textural contrast between the eroded round foreground rocks and the more angular background ones provides additional interest. Nicely done. I'm curious, though, if there was something less pleasing on the sides that prompted you to crop it as vertically as you did? I might be inclined to include a little more on the sides (particularly on the left, if possible) if that doesn't add something distracting.
The lens I used for this shot was the
24mm T-SE to allow me to get sharp detail from only inches in front of the lens, right through to the far distance, so a fixed prime and as such this was the best view I could get, because I couldn't zoom in or out. To the right and just out of shot is a holiday rental cottage, quite nice but with modern double glazing and to the left the clouds were really obscuring any more detail in the mountains, also at this time of the year we see lots of not very pretty tour boats moored up in this bay to the left of this shot, which are used for day trips over to
Loch Coruisk, so I found what I thought was the best position in the circumstances that framed all these distractions out of the shot and allowed me to capture sharp detail all the way through the image.
Thanks guys.
Dave
