Like that a lot

Did you lighten the rocks by hand or is that just from contrast & sharpening?

Got these on the Coral Beach near Dunvegan on Skye - was setting up for another landscape when the pooches appeared so decided to go with it and get some Rottie style shots with the wide angle. Great fun

Fpc cheers, had to add some light to the rocks ,light was very strong even with a ND 0.9RG and wanted to see some detail in them

One of those moments when you contemplate stealing a copy of the menu as the translations into English are "google translate" specials and the menu is full of hilarious "dishes"...







Lots more of them still to come...

Cheers - yes me too! The first was a 'challenge' to process - did a few HDR versions which lnoked crap, in the end just manipulating the RAW file gave the best result

An old one from a couple of years back.

I would have been tempted to leave the bridge a little darker o frame the background rather than try to compete with it.

I really like the rocks, just didn't know if you had to do much extra editing to bring out the details

Too many HDR :/

Underside of the bridge should be no brighter than the shadows of the riverbank in the background. IMO.

Thanks for the feedback Andrew - it's not actually HDR but I take your point
