Hi everyone

This one was shot not very far from my place , at the west coast of Ayrshire , a fairly easy place to find.

I had been there before but the weather wasn`t playing ball with me , so i had to pay another visit and this time i got lucky , not very but lucky enough.

What made me go back , was the pure formations of these sandstones , obviously created by the sea and wind.

Aper....f 18 - iso....50 - ss....3.2" - fl....24mm

Very interesting Dimitri. Looks like molten rock but I guess not. The colors are superb for sandstone. Makes for an outstanding FG. Great capture, thanks for posting.

Nice foreground interest Dimitri, and the blueish hints in the stone give a good link to the background blue tones.

The first thing my eyes went to was the miscellaneous "stuff" in the bottom left hand corner.
Also, the background looks a bit out of focus? Probably jpeg compression.

Good shot though D, and as John mentioned, I really like the blue tone in the rock matching that (stunning) sky.

That big rock looks just like the Orc commander of the assault on Minas Tirith! (Guess who was watching 'Return of the King' last night? :lol: )
