Nice shot Dan and you are right the sign ruins it somewhat
It would look great with a waterfall coming off the cliff and i suspect at some time in the past it did have one :
And i like the ducks also, did you get a closeup of them

No, the ducks were 'hooded' ducks, and you don't want to go near the hoodies round here.

I personally enjoyed the somewhat comical and ironic effect of the sign
I like how the sign is something you would probably see welcoming you to a town but then you just see this beautiful cliff face ahead.

The sign looks 'photoshopped' in to me.
and the ducks look like mallards, not that I'm an expert in photography or wildlife.

Something about the sign doesn't fit with me, the size, perspective, shadows, placement... seems wrong.
And I'm sure you could have got a good shot without the sign in it.

Doh! Didn't think of that, if only I'd stepped to the right a bit. And I'm sure you could have got a good shot without the sign in it.

Known locally as Pitsea Cove, pity they're not a bit more sensitive as to where they put their signs.
