Devon, UK has some very interesting beaches, some sand, some ... craggy rocks.
This was taken in Challaborough Bay, Devon, just around the corner from a holiday park. Not actual Mordor. Promise ;-)
This a 3 part HDR exposure times were actually 1/5-1/80th of a second at f/14

The very essence of Mordor--with the distant eye ever searching!
Wonderful detail in the dark rocky harshness.

Mordor indeed! (Although, for a fleeting moment, it also evoked the idea of a moon landscape - until we took in the clouds etc!). A very well-composed and effective photograph.

It does have that look. Excellent landscape with great colors and details.

Exquisite! I can almost see hobbits climbing...!

Ciruth Ungul is above on the pass... shuddering

Gorgeous image. Beautiful tones and textures with plenty of MOOD.

Love it

This clever image was driving me a bit bonkers - I saw it in the contest first, before seeing your explanation here. My brain was telling me the lighting was all wrong - thanks for sharing how you did it.
