Photographer’s Note

This is the place on the way to Gordon's Bay. A road sign of a walk trail and a tiny parking lot right after the bridge over a picturesque gorge have attracted us. The view from the rocks in the end of a short walk was outstanding.
I asked my boyfriend to pose for me: I wanted somebody to be out there on a rock to make scale for the landscape.

Beautiful big rocks!!
Really a beautiful place, I remember it, the ocean and the lobsters. I spent ten days in a little house in Pringle bay, just close there.
Rocks are really sculptures.

Hi Olga,

You wonderfully captured this beautiful piece of huge rock with its own textures. I like natural, untouched colors there and your model helps excellently to scale your view. Sea and mountains are completes your scene very well.

Friendly Regards,

Nice picture, good colours and point of view, very good details of the rocks, really well done. Maybe it would have looked better if he were not looking to the camera, but towards the sea... or the mountains... Anyway great job. Chau chau,

Hi Olga. Normally I would be strongly opposed to people artifically inserted into a landscape, but in this case I think it really helps. But your boyfriend, I would have thought those rocks were just small and your viewpoint low. Him being there really makes clear how big the rocks are. Unless, that is, he is very small!!!
