 Northumberland, the perfect place to go to get away from the world. This song, this place fit perfectly for me.


PS Work:

Not much...
Crop and rotate
Cloned out a very small rock from the bottom right corner
Saturation
Levels to get the black and white point
Curves to increase mid-range tone
A bit of dodge and burn to bring out the detail in the sweep of the waves.

Great slow exposure and nice choice of a vertical format rather than the traditional horizontal.

And it's my mind...

Lovely scenery, with the silky waves. maybe just a little over-sharpened arounf the ruins.

Beautiful place. I'm not sure about the composition-including so much water in the shot.

Using a new formula....
0-2 Meets the Challenge = 2
0-2 Technical Merit = 2
0-4 Interest/Creativity = 4
0-2 The "wow factor" = 2
Final score: 10

Looks like you were there very early in the morning,to get a shot of the castle without the multitude of walkers that are always there when I go.
Very atmospheric.

There, there's a place
where I can go
when I feel low
when I feel blue
And it's my mind
and there's time
When I'm alone
I think of you
the things you do
Go round my head
the things you've said .....7

this is just beautiful, and may do well. however, i feel it doesn't covey the message well enough without a person in there 'feeling blue'
