[Note Guidelines] Photographer's Note
A walk with friends after Christmas along the beech at Durdle Door, to those who know the area the cliffs are chalk with beds of flint within. I loved the contrast with the red sand and the white chalky boulders.

Chalk is relatively resistant to erosion and slumping compared to the clays with which it is usually associated, thus forming tall steep cliffs where chalk ridges meet the sea. Chalk hills, known as chalk downland, usually form where bands of chalk reach the surface at an angle, so forming a scarp slope. Because chalk is porous it can hold a large volume of ground water, providing a natural reservoir that releases water slowly through dry seasons.

Bello lugar, aunque creo que la luz de la piedra de la derecha está algo fuerte, para mi gusto algo de nitidez. Saludos.

Hi Paul,
Compositional wise this is a very good photo. But you might want to change your notes. If I compare this version with the previous one, I can surely see that there has been some pp done to the photo. Which is OK, since I think that all photos need to have some PP work done to it. My biggest concern is that your PP work left you with some strange pixelation in the beach area. It looks as if you oversharpened the photo a bit too much. I also would have tried to tone done the wite spot on the first rock.
TFS,
Niek

Hi Paul,

didn't see the original post, but Niek is right.
The image is over sharpened, it's evident in the sea too as well as the beach. Perhaps your camera has some trickery if you didn't do it.
The focus is off too.
It is a good composition, nice use of fore, middle and rear ground taking the ey through the image.
If this is close to you, re-take the shot.
Focus on the large chalk boulder with an aperture of at least F22 or as small as your lens will go. Make sure you use a tripod, because to get enough light, your shutter will be dead slow, but that will blur the sea beautifully.
Keep posting!

Gary
