About Another photo from Boulders Beach here in Cape Town. The sky really just worked wonders IMO. The multitude of characterful boulders in this area is amazing.

For this photo I was up to my chest in lovely cold water, avoiding swimming penguins (they are all over the area) and trying to keep my camera strap wrapped around my wrist and out of the water. Photography is awesome, makes me take myself places I would not normally go.

Nice composition Paul, the small bit of trapped rock, and the one on top look like prehistoric dassies trapped in time while quarrelling. The sky goes a little dark towards the top, but beautiful depth on the clouds, and clarity on the water.

Just of off colored sky other than that the image looks fine.

Indeed to be a rock, a cloud, a leaf, a ripple is a wonderful thing. I just could not fit "Oh To Be A Cloud, Oh To Be A Rock" in the title :) By that I mean how we often wish to be what we are not, while you may find that what you wish to be wishes to be what you are (the cloud wants to be a rock, the rock a cloud.) i.e. Love what you are.

As for cropping the right side, I gave it a bash but it ruins the composition of the rock, puts it too close to the frame. I am not yet good enough to get the DOF to stop behind the rock :)

To be a stone is fine too. Those stones are rounded like the clouds. My English is rather short. Sorry.

Paul,
I agree about the sky, clouds are a personal fasination for me.
You DOF is terrific in this, this little glints of sunlight on the water are so sweet and the rocks have such personality.
Have you tried cropping the right side to keep out that little bit of humanity (the town or what ever it is)? just a thought.
This is a wonderful piece of work!
