I was hoping for a little better light this morning but was let down.... again. Decided to post this one after processing levels and curves giving the contrast a boost. Tried turning it to mono to no avail.

Viewing large is bleaker!

Great image!
Peter.

Great moody shot, I would be tempted to crop out the top 3/4" to balance the composition, but it is a very compelling image!

I've had some frustrating days of late Dave (admittedly not this early in the morning) with the light not happening for me but I think you still have an image to be very proud of here. At least the sky wasn't flat grey. Smile

Staggering shot, as Paul says mood and drama by the bucket load, top work.

A seascape to form a backdrop for a wagnerian opera, hugely dramatic and far better than any sunrise over the rocks at Newbiggin, this deserves the largest print you can afford. A rare gift of nature you have here Dave, so very well captured.

Many thanks for the C&Cs everyone. A special one to Dougie for the kind words. Newbiggin may not be in the top ten of the most photographed locations in the world but I just love coming down here enjoying the beauty there is on offer. Nine times out of ten I find myself alone feeling privilaged witnessing the dfferent conditions each day brings.

Rgds... Dave
