Default Pinnacle Rock

Pinnacle Rock rises 30m above dense African Forest. It forms part of the 3rd biggest canyon and the biggest green canyon in the world, on a clear day views of 100kms or more can be seen, this was not one of them.





C & C appreciated.

Lovely subject. Perhaps opening it up a bit with curves adjustment might add a bit more twinkle to the image. I took the liberty of giving that a try on the first image. Thanks for posting this one, I have never seen this location before.

Hi Lionello - You certainly have some serious looking skies over there!! I think I like pic #2, the landscape, more as there is a more balanced look to the entire image. The depth of the pic is very nice and you have kept the saturation levels nice. Super shot......I'm starting to get a little giddy now....

I like the second one more than the first. The landscape view just seems better to me... (and it's not tilted).

Damn and I thought I'd get passed you this time . Thanks for pointing it out, how could I have missed that horizon.

Thanks for the rework Kellycat, I like it, I'll try replicate it a little later.

Thanks Jackel, Epphoto and Padre your comments are much appreciated.
