Nash Point

Taken at Nash Point on the Heritage Coast in South Wales, UK.
I was waiting for the sun to set and saw the lovely warm evening light shining on the cliffs so I took this photo looking at right angles to the sun.

I like how the cloud patterns mimic the foreground rocks.
I wouldn't usually go for a 50/50 split like this but that sky was just too good to leave out of the frame.

There are some very strong lines leading into that triangle of sand in the centre. I like this shot, every component is great, but somehow it lacks something (perhaps a figure) to give a point for the ey to focus on.

Its a good shot Geoff nearly up to my standard


Which is the problem you previous landscapes have set a very high bar for this one to live up to.

Geoff it looks like a beautiful place to be,don't know much about landscapes but this looks excellent to me.

Lovely landscape shot but for me the balance isn't quite right, I think essentially because the horizon is in the middle. The foreground rocks feel a little clipped off at the bottom and there's a bit too much sky for my taste - I don't want any more than where the diagonal streak to the right touches the edge (but even then I think I want more foreground). I also think the sky is a bit bright and maybe could be toned down a little.

But we don't see enough landscape work on UKNP so glad to see anything of this high standard.

You've acieved a realsense of depth in this shot, it almost looks 3D,
