Thanks Philip , unfortunately the cliff path didn’t give me much room to move back. i find it difficult to gauge sometimes with the ultra wide angle lens (11-16 in this case) how far back to go , i sometimes find you need to be close to a foreground subject but its something im going to have to get better at.
I hope you don’t take my criticism wrong, the subject seems great and the composition on the second shot is spot on, but you just got there at the wrong time of the day. The light is just not there, and photography with no light…
