Challenge: Image without Subject (Advanced Editing IV)
Camera: Nikon D70
Lens: Nikon AF Zoom-Nikkor 28-80mm f/3.5-5.6
Location: El Torcal, Antequera, Spain
Date: Aug 26, 2006
Aperture: 22
ISO: 200
Shutter: 0.3
Galleries: Landscape, Black and White
Date Uploaded: Aug 27, 2006

 Picture shot in RAW, postprocessing includes: Levels, Curves, Selective Color, Color Balance, Gradient Tool, USM to enhance contrast, cloning (major sensor dust trouble here :( ). Then converted to grayscale and chose a Duotone from the palette, Neat Image, Vignette, resize, sharpening and border.

I took this picture while our visit to El Torcal de Antequera, a Natural Park located in Malaga. Amazing thing about this place cannot be reflected in a picture: the wind running through the rocks makes this incredible sound, that looks like if the rocks were whistling. We will definitly go back there in some other occasion, too bad it is a 3 hour drive from home.

Very interesting rock formations, looks like a place I'd like to visit someday. The combination with that sky makes for a very dramatic photograph. Great job!
