Today we’re heading back to Cornwall and a spot near Lizard Point lighthouse where we took in a mediocre sunrise. I had climbed down a series of slippery rocks to try and get out to a flat formation that had some interesting rocks around it, and found myself here with the sun about to peek out from behind the rocks ahead of me.
In my mind I had the rough textures of the stone as my foreground, the clouds as a bit of added interest and the sun meeting the sky and rock in a beautiful starburst. That starburst didn’t work out too well for me in the final shot, which is unfortunate, but I still quite like it anyway.
Thanks also to everyone for the warm reception that yesterday’s image Caught in the Act received – I appreciate the tweets and love that you showed it – thanks.
Excellent textures on the rocks Mike and great colour in the Sky. The Sunburst adds nice balance.
Great composition. I love the sun and it’s rays just peeking through.
Beautiful shot today man. This is amazing!
I love the feel of this image Mike. Great detail in the rocks here.
The detail you’ve managed to retain in the rocks is brilliant. The clouds are pretty impressive too. I think that a dramatic sunburst would have been a little overwhelming – the understated sun is what this shot benefits from.
This is stunning! You’ve gone and out done yourself. Great work 🙂
