[Blow-in]

I was in a B&W mood today and this rock took my fancy....




It then made me think of this (must be winter blues)



No man is an island,
Entire of itself.
Each is a piece of the continent,
A part of the main.
If a clod be washed away by the sea,
Europe is the less.
As well as if a promontory were.
As well as if a manor of thine own
Or of thine friend's were.
Each man's death diminishes me,
For I am involved in mankind.
Therefore, send not to know
For whom the bell tolls,
It tolls for thee.


John Donne

I like it . Full range of tones as well.
I would try it cropped square too

Your wish is my command!

Ah ! I think you had it right the first time. :?
Yep square is not so good

Thanks - the composition is a bit strange but I decided to put the rock in the centre of the frame with the waterline above it to try and emphasise that it is isolated....a wim of the moment. I think it works better wide too and it makes the rock 'lonely'.
