[Note Guidelines] Photographer's Note
Man and nature ... the high waves and the rough weather at the most south western point of Europe have created steep cliffs !

Ah! I would never sit up there, I would be much too scared (but maybe that's because I am a woman: "Man and nature..." ???). Hehe, very good idea for a shot though and the tones and colors are rich and lovely. Great POV and I like how you have to look for a small moment before you notice the tiny man sitting on those huge cliffs. I find that the shot is slightly bottom-heavy though, and the water seems to be "boxed-in" by the bit of rocks at the bottom left edge, so maybe cropping off about three or four centimeters off the bottom would help to create more balance and give the water some more room to contrast with the orangey-brown rock cliffs. Try adding just a tiny bit of brightness too to the shot to make it pop out more. Really excellent sense of textures and detail though, I can almost hear the roaring of the waves. TFS!

Hello Daniel,
Some forces have been working on that place for millions of years!
I see very good details in this image, and the colours of the cliffs are well reproduced and contrast very well the sea...
Well composed, fine feeling of depth!
Greetings,

Wow Daniel, Great shot and the person sitting there gives such a sense of perspective. I agree with Lara, you could have lost a bit from the forefront and given the sea some space. But it does it for me! :-) Lesley
