Scott, your talent for framing a subject is remarkable. And then the colors add to the overall greatness of the moment.

Not too lonely it has a friend on the other rock. Nicely taken Scott and love the sea in the background

I smiled at PJWM's comment ... they do survive where others cannot.
The moody sky has lovely soft colors in contrast to the rock.

Amazing perspective, looks a bit oversharpened on my screen

Magnificent! The only thing I do not like about the photo is that I am not there with my camera too.

Rugged and beautiful. Looks prehistoric. A great shot.

Nicolas from Paris, France

So great, maybe the tree on the foreground is too large and hide the background.

Wayne Molyneux from Crewe, United Kingdom

Superb composition Scott, I also feel it's a tad oversharpened, though I am more concerned about the dust bunnies/spots all over the sky, sorry to bring it to your attention but it really spoils an excellent shot.

Best wishes

Wayne

@Wayne Molyneux: Wayne thanks for the note and yes from a dust standpoint - its a mess! - I shot this with a circular ND filter - which wasn't totally clean and then a circular polarizer on top of that which has some issues and needs to be replaced - so from a dust standpoint I ran out of time to try and clean everything up. But I will work on it for next time. Take Care.
