Perch Rock Pools

The lights, colours and cloud patterns seemed to change by the second

on this particular evening, I took numerous photo's and don't think any 2

looked the same. Your thoughts and comments are always appreciated.

Thank You.

Real nice Alf. Real nice.

You certainly captured a rainbow of colors on this shot.  Lovely composition, i like the foreground details, the little bits of light reflected in the ripples in the sand, and the stones randomly positioned to capture the attention, these details create a nice area to explore visually.  The sky is also quite interesting it reflects the randomness of the ground patterns in a way, if that makes any sense.  You anchored that shot quite well with the lighthouse standing unmovable like a sentinelle in the night. Well done Alf. Regards always - michel

Wonderful colours and the light house really stands out against the sky. One for the study wall, best wishes

Stunning colors.  I like how you've intensified them a bit, giving an already pretty scene a lot of punch.

Excellent composition. Surrealistic color... Well done! Thanks for sharing.

Deslumbrante en su uso del color, nitidez y disposición de los elementos.

Alf,

   Wow....this is a breathtaking image with wonderful colors & lighting.  Into my favorites this one goes.  Take care, Patsy

A fantastic array of colours captured here Alf, it's got to be one of the best skys I've ever seen....well done mate!

SPECTACULAR Alf. Have not seen one quite like tis one I can recall -- the color combos and all of that.  I am slightly divided on the 50/50 horizon line but you made it work.  

Superb.

Alf... The light, the colors, reflections and shapes are all superb and well composed.  A truely excellent shot... Mike

Wow Alf! What a shot this one is! Superbly composed, incredible sky, and wild colors. Superb work guy!

All the best,
Neil

Excellent capture, not sure it gets any better than this.

Best regards,

Douglas

Well my friend, I must admit that the coors here are superbly promoting this image for he viewers, having said so, your exposure and composition along with the DOF are so well balanced while the reflection of tower adds a great interest here also.

Than k you my friend for sharing it and wishing you all of the best. 

Very beautiful Alf! I really like the 50/50 composition as the lighthouse helps to break the horizon. Not having been there I think this might have been the best pov to highlight all the interest that is in this image and the reflux  of the lighthouse in the pool which leads us into this amazing place  ;) The colors are wonderful and the sky is a killer! I don't know how you could have done this any better! Wish I had been there with you...of course my photos would not have been as good..................or......

Warmest regards, Pamela

Excellent work with impressive lighting, Alf!

WOW!!! Exquisite image. Very well done.

Cheers.

You are doing so well with your landscape images Alf. A fantastic cascade of beautiful colours, a fine composition and a very nice scenery. What more can you say? Oh yes....Brilliant!

Take good care my dear friend and all the best to you and your family from Jannica

Hi Alf, To me this is another stunning image. Everything is well balanced and the colors are real nice. You know me and lighthouses are one of my favorite subjects so this is especially nice right down to the reflection in the water. My only concern or question is what is the row of dark objects on the left, its not really bothersome I was just curious. Take care.

Sincerely,

Holger

Two main things really attract me to your captures: Exact positioning of the camera relative to the ground level ( as here which seems sky in so near and low ), and secondly very impressive sharpness all over the capture. I think you know the hidden secrets of resizing! (Just for fun). And then, this capture is wonderful, with amazing green-blue stain and very matched golden glow. Control of light is masterful. Bravo for this masterpiece.

Hamid.

Fantastic work Alf!  The colors are phenomenal and your composition is superb.  Thank you for sharing.  Best regards...

Many thanks for your interest and positive feedback. We will be up in Scotland next week, but a bit further North than you, up at Glencoe, hopefully next time I can co-ordinate the journey to visit your area and the fantastic Caerlaverock Castle.

Cheers Terry

Alf

JEFF

Sincere thanks for your visit and kind words. I wasn't too sure if I'd gone over the top with the colours, but it seems to have worked ok.

Best Regards

Alf

GRIGORIY

Many thanks for your positive feedback and imput.......Surrealistic .....yeah I'd go with that, a bit of colour fantasy is a good thing sometimes.

Kind Regards

KEITH

Sincere thanks for your visit and positive feedback, we have to take what nature has on offer with light, sky's etc, but I got lucky this time.

Cheers Keith

Alf

KEN

Many thanks for your very generous words and positive feedback. I was considering cropping some of the sky in order to achieve the "thirds" criteria that often rules my brain, but on this occaision I simply didn't want to lose any of that cloud formation, but I'm pleased it works for you Ken.

Best Regards

Alf

MICHAEL

RASHED

Many thanks for your detailed analysis and positive feedback, very much appreciated.

Best Regards

Alf

PAMELA

Sincere thanks for your very kind words and positive feedback. I agonized over the 50/50 split, but just wanted to keep all of that sky.

I wished you'd been there too Pamela....the light, cloud formations and tide pools changed every minute, we would have taken the same shots, and I guarantee that none of them would have looked the same. Mine better? .......no never ......different ....yeah maybe : - ) Would have been fun comparing though!

Warm Regards

Alf

RUUD

Many thanks for your kind comments, much appreciated

JANNICA

Many thanks for stopping by and for your positive feedback, I got a few good tips from a great photographer here on PN : - ) Take good care Jannica and Best Regards to you and your family

Hej Da

Alf

HOLGER

I had a feeling you might like this one : - ) Many thanks for your supportive comments and positive feedback. The dark object are a series of specially designed concrete blocks, placed in interlocking formations to form a protective groyne against the tides of the river. About 30 years ago the sand in this area had all but been washed away by the River Mersey. The solution was to place several of these groynes along the river banks, and it's worked, the sand retuned relatively quickly, hope that explains the mystery Holger : - )

Best Regards

Alf

HAMID

Sincere thanks for your detailed analysis and positive feedback, the sky was impressive on this evening, the cloud formations seemed low in the sky and ever changing before my eyes. I have another image which I may post in the future, where the sky looks almost touchable. Secrets of re-sizing? ......well maybe one or two : - )

Best Regards

Alf

DAVE

Good to hear from you, I appreciate your positive feedback and I'm really pleased you like it. Many Thanks

Cheers Dave

Alf

We all know that a picture never quite does justice to the scene as we experienced it.  But this must come pretty darn near close.  The lighting and colors are really remarkable, and I can't offer a single word of constructive commentary on this outstanding image.  Bravo, Alf!

Extraordinary work, Alf. I am guessing from the comments that a lot of the color is natural...yes? Making this even more exquisite and mysterious. Stunning and masterful...congrats!

Excellent shot , amazing colors and light , beautiful composition , great job.....................Best regards.
