Thank you for viewing 'Face in the rock?'...
...and this is the same rock as seen from the valley below the next morning. I walked down the valley towards the sea and found the spot where the sun and the rock were aligned - and this is the result.
The only postwork was to reduce the brightness to create more of a silhouette like I experienced it on the day. This has also had the effect of bringing out the blue in the sky and enhancing the halo effect of the sun.

Thanks for viewing - comments appreciated.
