Got the Couch out again today to a little know spot called Sharp Point in Albany Western Australia.

Final Photo below followed by a setup shot, It was too windy to use an umbrella so had to fire through a diffuser.
Few more on Flickr before the sun went down. C&C Welcome.

Horizon seems to be uneven to me. Also seems like it might have looked better if the shot was taken down at his level more.

You're right about the horizon, though it's hard to see properly as the cliffs do disrupt the line.

I did try taking the photo from his level but it was much less dramatic as there was way too much foreground and not enough of the cliffs in the background.

Thanks for the comments, every little bit helps!

I agree at his level then back however many feet to make the background more prominent (with lens change to suit framing).
