I'm glad you did. Some lovely texture and tones throughout the image.
Sorry matey, not as keen on this as I would like to be in all honesty Nick as I love this location - especially with the tide in.
Difficult to pinpoint exactly, but my comments are probably more from a technical standpoint. I think for me the vignette is a little harsh and hides some of that lovely fg detail in the shale. Seems a touch dark on the sky too and seems to hem the shot in rather than giving it room to breathe.
Also, there appears to be a lot of noise on both sides of the shot in the midtone region predominantly.
Sorry to be negative and I could've just passed through without saying anything, but I know you welcome comments rather than just clicks, so ...
Paul
Thanks Nikki for the UA really appreciated
Thanks Paul for the honest critique. I knew it wasn't everyones cup of tea, probably why I'd taken a while to upload. I was trying for quite a dark, desolate mood with this one, the reason why the vignette (not something I do much) - Although the noise is something I should have eliminated (didn't help that I had the camera set at ISO800 - fool ). But as you know I would rather hear people concerns/comments and I appreciate it mate.
Cheers
Nick
The nab sits nicely in that band of light, the sky gives the image mood. The noise isn't to much of an issue, even adds a film quality feel to the image.
Not to sure of the vignette, agree with Paul your omitting some nice detail in that slate.
Overall you've tried something a little different for this location, good on you for that Nick

Wonderful dramatic coastal scenery here, and beautifully captured in mono here, Nick
