Ballintoy, Co. Antrim.

Much evidence of occupation by man from the neolithic period to the Iron Age has been found in this area particularly at the caves in the bay. All this is well described on the one-mile-long (2km) whitepark Bay Nature Trail.

Hi Stephen. Beautifully captured. For me the contrast between foreground rock; sea and darker cliff face make the image. Well done!
Regards.

Hi Stephen,

I like the way you usually mastered these kind of seascape. The waves creates nice movements and the blur of the waves crashing on the cliffs is well done with this exposure. The big rocks in the FG add a nice element to the composition. Good use of the polarizing filter to eliminate the reflection of the water.

PC :)

This scene is a bit confusing to me. The 3 second exposure is interesting, but unusual. It's not that I don't like it, it's just strange.

Hi Steven!

As always you turned common place into place from fairy tales. Beautifull seascape, perfectly exposured. Slightly grim mood. Most of all I like sky, dark rocks and mist-like water.

hello Steven! exellent shot!a majestic region! TFS

Hi Stephen..
Another awesome wide angle..
Good compo!

There is magical light and point of view again in this shot Dear Stephen. But I think I would prefer a shorter exposure to make the banging of the water into the rocks more dramatic.

Hello Stephen,
I really like this scenery and this great movement of the water. Exposure is good and gives a nice effect. You had great POV and this is a superb composition. Great DOF, lightning and contrast, thanks,
Claudine

Bonjour Stéphen
C'est une excellente prise de vue avec ce beau paysage marin ! Grande composition et belles couleurs, J,apprécie les belles vagues qui font un réssac sur le rocher. Merci pour le partage .
bravo et au revoir...JP
Les sourires demain

Hi Steve,
Due to the shutter speed this really looks like magic. I love the contrast between the light colored rock and the dark cliff. The crop is perfect, since there was a really small piece of land visable on the left. Great soft lighting and clarity.
TFS,
Niek

It's hard to keep up with you. I think I am all caught up and I find you have posted 2 or 3 more photos! I always like the muted simple color palette in many of your photos.

This is almost like a painting! The waves look great with the 3 sec exposure. Nice composition and yet another great use of natural light.
