Dramatic Coast

[djaphoto]

I took this with the hope that I would get the end result, being what you see below.

However, originally I took it, the sky was blown out, there wasn't alot going on, and I kept looking at it and thinking 'what the heck can I do to stop it gonig in the bin?'

Well, I drafted a new sky in, bit some dodge and burn, aswell as some selective curves to bring out detail in areas of interest.

I went for a B&W conversion, as I felt it helped towards the expression of the drama involved in the image.

Taken on the coast of Cornwall, an image that many visitors to Cornwall have probably witnessed and always enjoy (I hope anyway)

Thansk for looking, C&C welcome!

Actually like this quite a lot. The converison works well, but the sky does look a little false - the join against the cliff being the main reason for this I think.

I like this alot! To be quiet honest with you, if you hadn't have pointed out it was joined, I don't think I would have noticed the join. Now that I do see it though, it is fairly obvious :/

Saying that however, it is a cracking shot!
