Rocher Percé, Percé (Québec)

Shot from the terrasse of a restaurant. A small break in the clouds allowed the sun to light the rock just long enough for me to take the picture.

Like it, great catch. I also like having the person in the photo, gives it perspective. I think I would crop the right side just enough to remove the fence area, to me it is a distraction that adds nothing to the photo.

Thanks for your comments. Here's a cropped version. I think you're right this one puts even more importance on the individual looking at the rock.

Amazing colour. The crop is good in my opinion.

+1 for the cropped version. The fence was distracting. Great colors, it is like a scene out of a movie.

I wasn't sure, but cropped is indeed better. More of the fence would have worked, maybe, but as it is it's better this way.

Gorgeous capture of the Rocher Percé, I've never seen it from exactly that viewpoint. Colours are wonderful. Good work!

Thanks Knock AlexBW bdery and Kerrowdown. My wife hates that I bring my camera to the table (especially with the 50-135 on) but this is a time when it paid off.
