    I love the feeling of isolation or solitude. The rock wall gives you a path to follow and draws you into the image. I could make a couple suggestions about what you could have done differently but they would only be different, not better. This is simply an awesome shot just the way it is.

    very cool shot - reminds of Jim Patterson's work

    Sorry Taffy ... I can only agree with Ig completely and add nothing. Good work.

    Thanks for the kind comments.

    Iggy - just out of interest, I would like to know what you would have done differently. I live near this place and may be able to try out something different, always looking to learn.

    I think this is fab the way it is.

    That said I might try to play with this further especially if you have easy access to it.
    One suggestion might be taking the shot vertically instead of horizontally from the same perspactive. This would cut off a lot of the right side and would change the image somewhat but the resulting image would be more dynamic. Not saying better, but more dynamic.
