Hi Guy's

Not much today i'm afraid.
This was one of those images that looked so good in real life but transferred to screen or print just lacks the impact it did when looking over the valley. The sky was'nt quite that dark but I liked the effect from the 0.6 ND grad.
According to one of the locals that was out walking that day, these stones were left in a heap (theirs much more behind where this shot was taken) after the ice-age. I've titled this Hadrians Country because this is just yards from hadrians wall, it's a fantastic area but unfortunately the sun went behind the clouds shortly after this shot, so I am sure i'll be going their again shortly for some more shots, luckily it's only a 40 minute drive away.


PP Converted from RAW, resized, saturation and levels boost, resharpened and border/title added. (In that order)

Thanks for looking!

I hope you don't mind, I couldn't resist a little photoshop. I used the clone tool and took out the white spots on the rocks and then used the clarify tool to bring out the shadows more. I think the composition however is perfect.
