Handfast Point, Dorset, first sun

Taken from the Peveril Point headland, Swanage Bay, looking northeast with Bournemouth in the far distance, the rocks just caught the first light of the morning.

A pleasing set, Nigel. This one's my favourite. I love the sombre tones enlivened by the splash of sunlight on the cliffs. Coastal photography is difficult to get right: I find composition with what is always a lop-sided scene, quite demanding.

Best wishes,

Andrew

Thanks guys, much appreciated! I was lucky that morning, the sun starts off at 90deg to those cliffs and they catch the first light so beautifully
