Ha ha still laughing at Anthony's comment! A cracking shot, Alun, superbly composed and captured. The inclusion of people really focuses on the vast scale here. Brilliant

Michael Rawluk from Williams Lake, BC, Canada
Paul is right. The people really gives a great sense of scale. I suppose the ramp is so the lizard can climb out more easily.

Lovely shot. I have to agree with everyone above that the people captured in the picture displays the enormity of the setting.

I love the mighty structures with which man attempts to tame the sea. This seems a good case in point, Alun. Nicely seen. I love the folks on the beach - it gives this place the scale it needs.

The rocks and landscape make for a charming shot, full of character. Very well done. (Another place I'd love to stroll around with the camera.)
