Photographer’s Note

He's strong, tough and on top...

Nothing more to say.

But this shilloette I really like. It does not look like he is only just above the sand on a rock.

Hi Andrew
I like this composition with your unusual choice of viewpoint. As you say in your note the subject appears to be towering above on a cliff, rather than just a couple of feet above the beach on low rocks. I wasn't sure about the lighting - the figure was neither in total silhouette or well enough lit to reveal any detail - kind of in between. I have tried a workshop to try to reveal more detail - though think it may be equally effective to darken the image and make the silhouette complete by making the darker tones completely black. Hope you don't mind me workshopping it.
Cheers
Peter
