Rhossili

Taken at Rhossili on the Western side of the beautiful Gower Peninsular in South West Wales, UK.

The sky was very stormy looking this day and I managed to get this shot when the Sun suddenly popped out for a brief moment.

That was a bit of luck finding that piece of driftwood in exactly the right position wasn't it

you what?, nah, I'd never do a thing like that now would I?

I really like the drama in the sky Geoffrey! I also like the muted reflection on the beach.

Great image. The driftwood was a great idea. I think this is legit if you do it in the field, and much easier than doing it in photoshop after you get home!

I am wondering if a 2-stop ND would have been enough, but I enjoy this the way you have done it.

Spectacular light u've got here Geoffrey, the driftwood & stones/shells are really adding an element into the mood of the image
