[best viewed full sized] Hello All! This is another pic from Sunday taken at Malham Cove in the Yorkshire Dales of North Yorkshire and is the roof of the cove. We had waited in this spot for quite some time trying to get shots with no or few people in it but this quickly became obvious it was not going to happen as it was a very busy bank-holiday weekend, despite the poor weather. I changed tactic and decided to get as many people as possible instead. The magnificent limestone pavement on the surface of the Cove roof is deeply fissured and fretted by a pattern of channels. Chemical weathering due to the slightly acidic rain dissolves and widens the many joints of the limestone carving the patterns that can be seen today. The resulting limestone pavement is known as 'clints' and 'grykes', where the naked limestone lumps are the clints and the fissures in between are the grykes. The grykes are home to many rare (shade-loving) plants - harts-tongue fern, wood-sorrel, wood-garlic, geranium, anemone, rue, and enchanter's nightshade. I have used five differently exposed images from the same RAW file and blended them together to show how the scene would look to the eye as if you were there in person to see it. A slight alteration of levels, saturation boost, as well as a touch of dodge and burn was also used. There will be more yet to follow from this shoot. Thanks for looking and any comments and critique are, as always, more than welcome and valued! Carl
