Cornwall

Taken one evening on a dreary wet day in the blue hour glow of an overcast sky. I think Tony Kuyper might have liked this place.
Really needs to be seen on the large version.

Pretty cool! The blue-orange combo works so well here. Reminds me of a stairwell gone bad in a dream. Great find, processing is electric.

Wonderful angle, colors and composition! Lots to see and explore here. Reminds me of a stone table saw!

Yes, indeed, I think he might've liked it. You certainly did it justice with this image.

That's awesome, the perspective is very cool, not sure which way I'm looking. Great colors and texture too.

My technical nit is fix the CA. (hate even mentioning it)
What a great shot. Reminds me of something the Borg would have created from Star Trek.
Very unique, original, and quite interesting. Your shooting angle seriously works well on this bad boy.

Cool formation and them be some eye-poppin' colors. Very Tonyish saturation. Definitely needs to be viewed large.

Wild texture and color contrasts in this one and just enough visual flow generated with the lines and unusual perspective!

A wonderful abstract, Kah Kit! The colors are beautiful and composing
diagonally really works. I have no suggestions for improvements or
changes.

The composition is amazing Kah. I like to know the technicals like whether you blended for DOF? Seems a little bright on my monitor. Definitely an eye catcher, have you considered B + W as well?

What a great find Kah. The blue and orange contrast so well together.

Colorful, sharp, and enjoyably dizzying perspective!

Hi Michael, it was a single exposure, f16 at 30 seconds. By the way this is a very frequently photographed beach but I don't think anyone has shot it in this way before. The scale of this is about 3 storeys high.

Outstanding capture. Love the diagonal comp and the great variety of colors. The rocks look like gears to me. Just a fascinating subject.

Love the color and detail in this Kah Kit, but it's the dynamic perspective that really makes this for me! Definitely thought of Tony's work when I saw this. Great capture!

Colors work great but it is the composition that is killer. The large version is quite an experience. I get the feeling of being "inside" this, as a small figure in a gigantic maze of rock. Excellent!

Incredible rock formations. I love the angle you captured the striations at. A really unusual and engaging shot.

Fantastic. Love the movement of the lines accentuated by your perspective; almost as if these rock strata are rushing by the viewer to either side. The contrasting colors take this over the top.
