Armageddon

I'm not a very artistic person but every once in a while I just feel the urge to do something crazy with an image, to relieve stress I suppose.

Anyway, here's the result of one such time.
I can't remember exactly what I did but it's a HDR from one image processed a few times at different exposures.

I'm ok now, I've been taking my medication :wink:

Interesting image. I'm not too fond of the "dark corners" top left and top right, but I really like the reflections on the foreground rocks and sand. I'm not usually a "diagonal-lines-into-the corner" person, but if I was making a print of this, I think I would probably crop the top so that the diagonal of the cliff goes into the top right corner.

Just some thoughts for consideration.

Works for me Geoff and I like the dark areas at the top corners. I think it lends to the drama of the image. :wavey: :toast:

Lovely light and textures Geoff.
I think you've got the hang of this landscape malarky!

Phil. :smile: :toast:
