"The World Beneath"

Another shot from my recent trip to South Ayrshire coast. As I said

before - weather was very whimsy that day so I focused on exploring

the beach to find some nice foreground - that could compensate the

lack of interesting light. I found this strange stone, covered with

loads of green seaweeds. My first impression was it reminded me of a

Davy Jones face (Flying Dutchamn's captain from Pirates of Caribbean

movie) :) - and it was my first title for this shot - "Davy Jones on

Vacation" :D Then I realized some of you may not get my message, so

I changed it for a easy one :) Finally at the end of a day the Sun

broke through the clouds offering a great array of colours in the

sky. I used CPL filter (to cut off some water reflections) + 0.9 GND

HE filter to balance the whole exposure. No other photoshop action

was necessary. Hope you'll like it. Feel free to express your

comments/critiques.

A great shot and a lovely place. Congratulations.

Very good picture with beautiful colours and just enough reflections. Congratulations. Yves P.

Only I can say that it is a precious photography, everything is ideal, the light, the sky, the approach? a photo wonder. Congratulations.

Outstanding! Beautiful! Bravo!

Lovely composition and beautiful colors. Nicely done. Dan

super image with great sky, I think maybe I would of tried to make more of this rock, put it more central and of gone a bit closer. Rich.

very good.

Forget the blending, this is a flawless use of a graduated filter. strong foreground and pleasing colours make a really great shot piotr. If I wqas there I would possibly have got lower and moved the seaweed boulder in from the right of the frame so I became more of a feature, but a top result and a great addition to your portfolio.

Super shot and I agree with the other comments. If it was me I would have cut out a bit of that empty sky at the top.
