This is a re-worked image from last year. I had originally thought it worked best in black and white, but I was excited to see what happened to them in colour. Somehow the mood seems intensified to me with the colour remaining, and I like to see that flash of yellow..

I always think of these gorgeous muted colours as a “black and white” of their own. Love the different sweeps of zone in this shot Cath!
That’s a really interesting thought, thanks Patti – yes you are right, they are somewhere in between. This area has an odd purple colour to the rocks, which gives the stones and water a really unusual colour – that day was very interesting to me as it was daylight but all the photographs had an almost night time quality to them..
Some many levels of interest Cath, literally and figuratively. Wonderful.
Really glad you thought so Elena, thanks!
Lovely colors and textures.
Thanks Chris, it was a really unusual light that day, still wonder if I could bring that out a little more..will see!
I love these subtle colours too, Cath. They are beautifully rich and earthy.
This would be great printed huge!
Thanks Karen, funny I hadn’t seen the earthy-ness in this one, but yes you’re right..maybe I felt it without really realising..interesting! Yes I wonder how it would be larger..
the muted colours work really well. I love the rich earthiness of the cliffs against the sky and the sea. That landscape looks so familiar, and comforting to me!
Thanks Emily – I think that whole area has a very comforting energy to it..I was talking about it with a man who comes here for guitar lessons and he said it was like “the Old England” – I think I know what he meant..of course you must have lots of memories there too I’d imagine if you visit a lot!
The colours in this are quite surprising and very rich – love the contrast between the boy and his environment.
Glad you thought so Richard, thanks!
I like how you show how small and delicate we are compared to the beauty and force of nature
Thanks Carla, it’s something I’m often drawn to..it’s always humbling to be reminded of the scale of things..
I’ve really liked these since I first saw them last year… you’ve made a nice variation on this one, Cath.
Thanks John – I’m really happy to hear that you can remember them! It’s really interesting to see how different an image feels with different adjustments isn’t it – the hard part being choosing what you like best I think!
Yes, you have given some contrast to the immensity of the space…I feel that it speaks to Time, as well…fleeting and eternal in the waves, the youth, and the rocks and hills. Very nice, Cath…and it’s still a beautiful photo. 🙂
Still, as in, still from last year…it remains beautiful….
Scott, I’m so glad you felt that sense of time, it’s exactly what I felt too, I wasn’t sure if that came across, so very pleased that you could feel that, thankyou..
