Description
This is a blend of 2 photos: a short exposure for the sky, longer for the moss on the rocks, inspired by November by *AndyMumford .The photo is called Miracle because at the time of shooting I thought I'd made a sow's ear of it. It's always nice when you have someone who can turn it into a silk purse
I love how this composition has come out. Hope you all do too.

It's interesting you should say that, really. The blended shots such as Caught Out and this one were products of necessity since I didn't have any filters on my lense. Hopefully I'll be getting a set of ND Grads on Thursday because I'd like my shots to appear more natural like yours.

I only have Cokin at the moment but hopefully I will be getting some HiTechs, they're cheap and meant to be superb quality. What ones did you have in mind to get?

Awesome mate. I wouldn't go tinted colours myself, I don't really like the effect but I'm sure you will put them to good use

The problem with the British weather is sometimes it needs a bit of help to be interesting

Wonderful photograph. Too long since I've last seen the shores of the ocean... I love how it has all the colors of the rainbow and rises from the cold to the warm ones! Kudos

So you can swim, tiger?
And I SO love to make you believe I don't know Meatloaf or the Titanic... You're my best public ever!
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
It's ok, mate, there's no need to be embarrassed
Not everyone knows about Meatloaf, and most people think Titanic is a sh*t chick-flick and willfully miss out on the Winslet nudey scenes... can't think why they'd want to 
That's what friends are for

Well, my motto is "two drops of lie in an ocean of truth"!
But I checked that thing about a boat called Titanic on Google and you were right! It really sunk!!! Amazing how foolish the captain was. They REALLY ought to make a movie about this...

It's so very purple - that's unusual in nature!
Great shot, and glad it worked out for you after all - the stitching is fantastic, again.
On a side note, all the seaweed reminded me of how much I'm afraid of it. xD

Those clouds gave the light its purple cast, almost as if they diffused the sunset into the remaining blue in the sky. There weren't any filters tinting the exposure.

That's really cool!
Brilliant find. Every now and then I see that purple hue in the mornings, but this is by far the most outstanding cast of it I've seen in..maybe forever.

yes i'm a bit like that i have started to venture up in north cornwall a bit more now and again just finding the time really, nice though to check out new area especially when in reality they are that far away really, fingers crossed for some better weather.

Nice highlights on the moss and the clouds are to die for.
Now be honest here, you didnt really drop your trousers to scare the UFO away did you ?Listen, they've learned all they can from rectal probing ok, just let it go. !!!

this green patch is a nice touch to an overall good photograph. The highlights though of the water are a bit distracting though.

Yeah, good point but like I've said elsewhere, because of the process that went into putting this picture together, I'm OK with the highlit water...
and I have explained the reasons for it too...
