Gosh! and to think that I nearly didn't enter. This is only my second challenge, so I'm thrilled with fourth spot - better than I ever could have expected. I was hoping to come somewhere in the top half.
Thank you to everyone who took the time and trouble to comment on this picture and I'll definately be taking on board the views of those who didn't like the border.
Picture was taken at Cuckmere Haven, close to Beachy Head (but not Dover) on the south coast of England.
Cropped, adjusted levels and curves, then tweaked the colour with Selective colour. USM, added that border, then ran it through Neat Image and finally, saved for web.
In many ways a very powerful image, but I have several nits. The cliffs themselves don't seem to be rendered as wella s they might be, and even though the horizon is almost perfectly level the ooveralls ense is that it's leaning slightly to the right, like it needs half a degree of ccw rotation to balance it. Finally, the very wide one-two punch of border is really hurting you here, it's greatly at odds witht he delicacy of the photo details, and overpowers them badly.
Wow! Nice shot! I love the sky and tyhe water next to the huge rock! I aslo like the texture of the ground ilooks nice and the roks in the image looks neat!
II like the image itself, but I think by removing some of the foreground to make the image more of a landscape than square and minimizing the border, it would have scored quite a bit better with me.
This is one of the best pictures in this challenge, and I hope it doesn't get voted down for thos that prefered it to have the three elements. Too thick border in my opinion, but other than that great picture.
WOW! Stunningly beautiful shot. Well done! I'm a very conservative scorer & critic, so please don't take me giving this image a "9" the wrong way - I've only given out one "10" since I joined a number of months ago. The only (possibly) constructive comment I can make is that the light is so bright against the rock, that it might be detracting a little from the detail otherwise possible. I'm also curious as to where this shot was taken - my guess is somewhere near Cape Horn, Chile. It's a breathtaking shot - I'd love to visit there! Well done!
The way the light plays off the water is an excellent complement to the white cliffs in the background. The blue sky also adds a lot of interest to the shot.
Wow!!! Definitely the most beautiful picture I've seen so far in this challenge! And it fits the challenge perfectly in the MOST interesting of ways. I think we might see this one in the winner's circle :) I hope so! 10
Great shot! I see no flaws to point out, only the border, wich I feel is too much. As for the rest, I believe you have a very good composition, colors and overall quality. Congrtaulations.
