I like the light and textures on the rock Stuart. The interplay of the light and textures gives the rock a face which was especially pronounced in the thumbnail. Nice find.

I like it a lot. I really enjoy the patterns and tone. A very interesting abstract, fun to study.

Looks like pain to me!
Wonderful capture. Great contrast and texture and lines
Mono is good choice, too.

Stuart,
This is a fascinating and engaging study. The tonal range is excellent and I really like the texture.
Now I wasn't there so I don't know the constraints, but I almost sense a vertical format...
Always enjoy your work.

I like it, Stuart. The overall contrast works create to create interest. I find the LRC a bit distracting, but the lines and textures elsewhere are quite engaging.
