Hello Paul
This is some view....You have really captured how the ground drops away..No easy thing to do..This to me is a perfectly composed and balanced scene...The long exposure has worked really well..(30secs is enough for a quick smoke!!)
Cheers for this Paul

The path looks like an English version of the start of some UFO markings, like crops ciricles but in a straight'ish line:-) A nice trek if you do not have tick problems as well do this time of year. I do not mind removing ticks, but I am afraid of the deer tick...a great image from a different height!

This is another perfect scene for that lens. I feel I could step right onto that path. It does look quite uninhabited. I am often surprised at how often I am able to get off alone when there are highly populated areas nearby. Sharpness, color and light are great

Hi Paul,

Beautiful colours and good pov.
What a beautiful country live you.
Also good long foreground so that you have a little sky.
Well done,

Regards Gert

Hi Paul

Now that's what i call great timing :)
You really were the man in the right place, at the right time :)

A splendid view from up here and indeed that shadowed trail acts superbly as a lead-in line for the perspective and composition! I love the way you've used it here.
The Durdle Door is very nicely visible in the distance (i must see it live!) and it looks wonderful in the nice afternoon sun!
The contrast here between the bright and warm colored cliffs and the darker and cloudy sky, adds a great deal to the scene and its atmosphere, enhancing the composition well.
Splendid work, my friend!

Bravo and TFS

Hi Paul,
very nice capture of this beautiful scene.
It must be so peaceful being up there on your own.
Superb composition as usual.
The use of the path as a lead-in line is superb and there is lots of interest.
Nice colours especially from the turquoise sea!
Exceptional clarity.
Very well done mate.

Cheers,
Joe

Hello Paul,
One sees many shots of Durdle Door from various P'sOV but this view in this lighting must be one of the most unusual, the Door looking like an old castle ruin with most of it the shade but the outline wonderfully lit up. This for me is the focal point of a great view of the coasline from the west.
If you are going to photograph the Lulworth Skipper, it is just this stretch of coastline where it was most numerous when I saw it.
Thanks for sharing this fine image,
best wishes, Ivan

Hi Paul,
A beautiful capture of this lovely landscape. Excellent composition and the thin road like structure between the grass bed makes it look stunning. Thanks a lot for sharing.

Hi Paul!

The lighting and the perspective are the main characteristics of this picture that make it an outstanding one. You have the secret of such impressive perspectives. And today, the special light conditions were a good ally!

Kind regards

What a privilege to be surrounded with such landscapes and sceneries and be alone! In England where you are so many people! and what a privilege to us on TN having to look at your wonderful shots. I have never seen anything like it, your pictures are fantastic. In this one the perspective is so strong with the line of the path joining the line of the shore. Wow Paul, what an artistic and skilled eye you have. This view is almost like one on an airplane and what a surprise to see it's at this path level. Great great beautiful picture with fantastic colours. My dream of England come true ;-)) (it's a dream I have to go in England and Italy) thank you!

Hi Paul!

I always await when you will just pop in a brand new pov among your shots, it's a hit every time! But still recognizable style of yours. If there's not enough sun you catch the work of wind in the grass and the sea - excellent work! TFS!

Best regards,
Andor
