Great timing and, most importantly, careful and skilful handling of light and shade, Paul.
Best wishes,

Andrew

Thanks, guys.

Smeggy', I already tried it, but rested on the colour version. It's almost a colour monochrome anyway.

Zav, the coast is a cool place to be in all weather for photography. I cannot swim so photography it will have to be...

This is one of those views that screams huge. I really like the dark area at the base of the cloud and the transition to the pool of light. However, I do find the highlights in the top third a bit too bright. Otherwise this is a terrific image.

This is a quick play - hope you don't mind - I'd have something along these lines in mind for this image:

Your quite right DrOrloff, I am still in the process of getting this set up to be sent off and printed, so I welcome your input.

For the life of me I don't know why I never picked up on it, 'wood for the trees' and all that...

This is a really great image- I think that the bigger it gets the better it will get- Do it justice and blow it up as big as you can go- It would make a great feature wall.

Thanks, Japers.

I'm looking to get this printed up on some Hahnemuhle Photorag or Pearl paper as a Giclee print, so i'm going ball's out...

What a beautiful photo.

It has (for me) that rare ability to make you want to sit and stare at it for a very long time.

Very worthy of a very large print.
