Worm's Head - be interested in thoughts

Be interested in thoughts on this pic.

Taken @ Worm's Head, Gower a few weeks ago. Used a tripod (but think ideally should have had more height to get a break between Worm's Head and mainland). Deliberately comp'd to put Head on the 1/3rds and waited a couple of minutes for the light (weirdly, Head is sunlit even it it looks as if it isn't!)

Subsequent processing to darken sky and a bit of Dodge and Burn.

Think your'e right about the height Mark, still a nice shot though.

Attractive shot, with great detail. Almost feels like a CGI with those intense colours & sharpness.

Really nice shot but cant see the worm on my screen

Hey, thanks guys! Appreciate the comments!

Umm, should have gone to Specsavers, Steve!

Lovely shot Mark....but then, it is Wales again isn't it!!??

Your eyes are drawn to the lightest part of the image & in this case it's the rocks in the lower third that are overpowering the picture, Darken the base & lighten the head to focus attention there.There are some very nice lines leading to the main subject.

LOL @ Angela! Is it in Wales? I've always considered it a little like Pembroke (Little England beyond Wales) as being outside Wales! And it does have the claim to fame of being the first National Park

Yeah, the light affect was fairly weird, Toonie. All is lit, yet get that predominance. Will try darkening/lightening, as appropriate. Thanks!

Don't encourage her, Dave!

Now Mark, when I have ever needed encouragement?

Actually, you know it may look really good in sepia as well...
