[Note Guidelines] Photographer's Note
Stretching from Curran Strand to Dunluce Castle are the unique limestone cliffs of the White Rocks. These soft sedimentary rocks have been carved through centuries into a labyrinth of caves and arches, magical headlands of distinguishable forms rise out of the ocean with names like Shelagh's Head, the Giants Head, the Wishing Arch, Elephant Rock and the Lion's Paw, while underneath the road you drive upon, huge cavernous caves, accessible only from the sea are home to scores of seabirds and the hunting ground for hawks. The caves are exceptional and one of the hidden treasures to be discovered along the coast.

Hi Steve

Another superb seaside/goelogical picture from you! :)
I really like the way you composed it: the two small rocks in the FG, than the two massive ones (with all these caves and holes in them) and then the clouds above them...al these in about one half of the frame, and then, to the right...only the water.
Also, to complete the composition, you have such an impressive contrast between the small black rocks up close and any of the big ones.
The details and textures are amazing and colors are wonderful.

Bravo and TFS

Hello Steve,
Really brilliant landscape - I like the way the black stones, the sky and beach all lead your eyes to the white rocky outcrop with the caves in the background. The wet sand is also beautiful and the colours fantastic!! Very impressive shot!!

Hi Stephen,
The picture is superb not only in terms of technical excellence but also in terms of photography as an art form.
The way you have composed the shot and selected the contents speaks very high of your aesthetic sense.
The landscape (or sea scape, if you like) fills me with a deep sense of serenity and peace.
Thanks, and take care.

Very nice Stephen. I like very much the unmarred sand and reflection. The clouds receding into the distance add a lot of action. Love that lens in your hands.

Hi Stephen

Magnificent landscape. Lovely reflection in the wet sand and pleasing colours. Stunning site and high quality image. Thank you my friend!

Hi Steve,
Yet another stunning photo of the beautiful Antrim Coast. The view is beautiful with the great FG interest by the black and white rocks leading me toward the beautifull shaped cliffs.
Looks like you has some really nice soft lighting this time of the morning. The stunning sky really helps to make this photo even more beautiful.

Hi Stephen, this is a very fine view. Good composition and exposure. Very good colours too. The crashing wave to the right are a nice touch. Well done.
