The Cape of Good Hope was also known as the Cape of Storms. Quite apt considering the weather when I visited.

The tide was out and a storm was coming in. To give a sense of scale, there's a climber just about visible on the rocks, top left

Great composition and sense of scale. Bet it looks just as good in colour!

Beautiful composition. I'd love to see the shot in colour, I bet that the sky just looks magnificent.

There wasn't a great deal of colour in the scene! I've got a few to process from my trip over the enxt few days so I'll post when I'm done. Mainly travel snaps rather than anything more 'considered' due to time constraints, but a nice dip in the ocean for the Western Cape and I'm planning to revisit to spend a lot more time in the area.

Nicely done Phil.
Great job.

Thanks Victor

The colour shot was processed with a tone map trial of HDR Efex, followed by a blend to lower hte brightness of the sky a little. The B&W was processed with two tweaked presets in Silver Efex, individually brushed to blend.

What a fantastic shot! I loved it...

I almost can see Cap. Ahab over the Pequod's side in the horizon.
