Once more Etretat, a photo from Haute-Normandie, North

Photographer's Note

Once more a post from the amazing cliffs of Etretat. The sun was not at the perfect position and there was many humidity creating the white sky but in this case i like the white als contrast to the rock formation.

Hallo Kik,
Ben weer terug en ben er geweest. Op de heenweg was het weer bar en boos, niks fatsoenlijks kunnen schieten, maar op de terugweg weer een omweg genomen om nogmaals weer te kijken en ziedaar, de zon scheen volop.
Ik moet ze nog verder uitzoeken, dus geen idee of er iets goeds tussenzit, even geduld dus mocht ik iets hebben wat de moeite van het posten waard is.
Ben er te weinig geweest om alle standpunten te kunnen bezoeken, daarom komt me dit dus ook niet bekend voor, maar de opening in de rotsen dus wel ;-)
Groet, Henk

Hi,
A lovely natural rocky arc.
Nicely seen and presented.
Yet,I'd perhaps enhance the colours.

Hello,
Beautiful landscape and very interesting cliff, the clarity and colours are very good. I like people silhouettes adding scale to the whole.
Best regards,
Maciek

Hi Ki-ko,
Good idea to usew flowers in the FG to add DOF although their lack of sharpness is bothersome. The tiny figures on the cliff top show the size of this rock formation. The light appears very flat, you might try early mornings or late afternoons really for more depth in your colors.
HLJ, Pat

Hi Kik, As others have said, the flowers in the FG work well, giving depth to the image. I also like the inclusion of the (small) people on top which provide a sense of scale. I see what you mean about the white sky providing contrast and often one doesn't have a choice. cheers, Steve

Dag Kik,

A superb sight on this marvellous natural construction. A great depth of field thanks the flowers in the foreground. The people at the top allow to see dimensions of the cliff.
Goed avond mijn vriend,
Roger

Hi Kik,

I'm pleased to discover your gallery... It's never too late!

Having been there, I can fully appreciate your version of this famous location. I like the tight frame on the most spectacular part; the hole!... :-P) Without it, it would be just another cliff... The use of the flowery foreground is a brilliant idea and a natural complement to this set-up.

To see people on top of it offers a good idea about the gigantic size of this natural landmark.

Good work!

André

google search (Durdle Door) its south England UK

the shot is nice with good composition but alittle more detail in the sky would have finished it off nicley

Hi Kik,

Interesting rock formation & by capturing the people on the top of the cliff gives us a sense of scale... My heart is pounding at the fear of being so high up there on the cliff.... I hate heights.

Kindest regards,
Dawn.
