Sw. Alentejo and Costa Vicentina Natural Park
Portugal.

Dramatic weather causing diffuse light and the tide in the right spot reaching the cave entrance enabled me to render this scene. The cliff draw me so much attention, I had to work a way to add the intensity as I was interpreting at the moment. B/W processing, vignetting and localized contrasts worked for my intentions.
