You do have a dirty sensor.

But I am not really a fan of it. It sits bit between abstract and nature photography. Like it can't decide what it is. Also the halo around the rock formation is distracting.

The B&W conversion is nice though

Great detail in the rock. I would like to see a lot more rock and a lot less sky.

If plants were photographed, why is there so much stone? If you were shooting a rock, why is there so much sky? If you were shooting the sky, why would you need a stone? So many questions.

Bingo - for that exact reason; you hit the nail on its head; to provoke. I empoyed a triangular composition in an attempt to challenge the usual rules of composition (for myself of course). Rock and sky connected by plants. I could wax philosophical about it - hence abstract.

Dirty sensor : True - sorry, should have seen that thing - needs a bit of spot removal.


Yes it does sit between the two - I intent was abstract though... Yes I could have had a better sky :-/ , it did not co-operate for 3 days, so gave up as I was there for a holiday. Halo is indeed distracting, I'll work on that.


Thank you for your honest and not-sugar-coated-opinion - MUCH appreciated.
