Taken yesterday on a flying visit to Dorset, it was a LONG STEEP walk up and down those cliffs and very very very windy.

Very, very nice shot, Jan.

Composition, as always, is spot on.

And if you did add a touch of Orton's to this particular post processing mix ... well done.

Catching that one breaking wave is your images' here ... pièce de résistance. Most certainly a strong visual aspect/element that adds to the compositional balance.

And but of course ... glad you didn't break a bone on the journey down and back up ... or, get swept out to sea ... and end up being held on a pirate ship against your will.

(/\ Er, maybe? :oP)

... ...

... ...

Right ... and thanks for sharing this one with us. :o)

So beautiful Dimps. Your treatment is only matched by your photographic skills. Love the deep colors. The foam of the waves is really good. Excellent work.

So they have white cliffs in Dorset too. Such a nice capture of chilly foreboding weather beyond the cliffs and in the pounding waters. Was it windy? lol Very dramatic and beautiful image, Jan.

I love the drama, the darkness, in this photo. And with those cliffs, it makes me want to write a poem..of two lovers....well, maybe not! But the light cliffs compared to the dark sky is truly magnificent. Hope you didn't wear yourself out too much! Very nicely done my friend!! VErena

Yes finally he gets time to comment. Great to have you down in Dorset, even if it was just for the one day. I was thinking it was a shame about the weather that day, until I saw this. What a stunner! You certainly got dramatic lighting and some wild water here - just the right amount of orton too, very classy.

Thank you for taking that walk. You've captured the place exactly as I remember it.
I can almost smell the water, feel the wind.
