This is the Whale Jaw (I think), which is one of my favorite features in the Caves. I had to take 3 bracketed shots in order to achieve the desired look.

I like those "whale teeth".
You did a good job keeping detail in the highlights.
My personal preference would be to crop it a bit tighter.
The surrounding shadows lose my interest.

Great control of the exposure - nice work!
So tripods are allowed? Or is this hand-held (which would be really impressive!)?

This is very good Momo. Seems like it would be a really tough exposure.

Very neat shot, Mel. Sure fits the name.

That's a pretty neat feature. You definitely held the hightlights well. Are the caves something you can explore at your leisure or do you need to take a tour?

To answer the questions, tripods are allowed in the cave, and you do not have to be with a tour. I spent 6 hours on my own and had a blast.
