   Fantastic Image and great location. I just like to say that the GradND has caused the upper ends of the cliffs to become dark, use of a split neutral density filter could have been an option.
   Beautiful Image neverthless.

   where were you Scott to take such a photo? in a helicopter or something??!! I wonder what would be in the waters, any sea live??? It reminds me of a water park, where you ride a rubber boat which goes swifting around corners… But i guess this one would be a scary ride.. Great job

    I have been there myself and I know how spectaculair the scene is. Your picture is really something different. For starters you focused on only a part of the whole horseshoe and then you waited for superb light and clouds in the bg. Wonderful.
