[Ligne directrice - Note] Note du photographe
As promised, a classical, classical, classical view of Etretat white cliffs with the Porte d'Aval ("the lower gate") arch in the middle and the L'Aiguille ("the needle") rock to the left of it (I´ll show it tomorrow from a less classical POV). What I like about this photo is a strong side light (it was taken around 6 pm in October), you can see even the shadow of L'Aiguille cast on the lower part of the arch. Note also that here we see the beach at low (but not the lowest) tide; the tides in Etretat are quite high, and the green/white border on the cliffs marks the high tide level. The buildings on the top of the background cliff are described in the note to my previous post from Etretat. And finally, note this hole in the cliff to the right from the arch, this is actually a tunnel in the rock to the other side, and we'll talk about it tomorrow...:)

spectacular view, aljek, with gorgeous colours;
really a good one.

i love the contrasting colours of the rock/water. the dark area down the bottom though is a little distracting.. other than that a well cptured scene..

Indeed a classical but it remains a wonderful sight! Very good use of light and POV. I like all the horizontal layers on the clay cliffs.

Hi Alexander,

splendid shot.
Fantastic colors with beautiful deep blue and nice whites. The contrast is great and the view is stunning.

Hi Alexander, beautiful landscape with great colors, good compo by having this piece of blue on the left (not more, not less) and the different color's stripes. A big boat in the background and it would even be better, well done.
Kindly
Yan

Salut Alexander.
Typique mais superbe et parfaitement réussie.
Ce sont souvent les lieux les plus photographiés qui sont les plus difficiles à prendre correctement en photo et là tu as parfaitement réussi car on voit bien la taille de ces falaises.

Amicalement.

Hi Alexander, thanks for the interesting notes to accompany this impressive view. The striations in the cliff face and the 'island' are very striking - a good subject. A difficult shot because of the brightness of the light reflected by the cliff, but the reflection and the shadow that you mentioned are effective elements. The buildings give a good idea of the size. I've detected the very slightest of tilts in the horizon, which becomes visible to the eye because the horizon is so close to the top of the photo. Perhaps the only way to include more sky without losing any of the reflection might be to zoom out just a little bit. But overall, the striking aspects of the photo make it very pleasing.
Regards,
Andrew

Привет,Александр! Супер фото! Отличная композиция и фантастическое совпадение морского горизонта с земным!Отличное сочетание Цветов и деталей! Я пробовал снимать подобные виды в Португалии,но тогда ещё не было цыфры!! Удачи! Юра.

Hello Alexander,
A nice view, the white rocks contrasts well with the blue sea.
Regards,
Didier

Hi alexander
yes, a classic motif, still well presented here in the light keeping details of the surface, even som reflections in the sea. Interesting place.

What fantastic rock formations; it looks like an amazing stretch of coastline. I think your shot is excellent; the composition is good and the light and colours are very nice.
Good stuff.
Ben

Hi Alexander,
I love your point of view here!
This phenomenon of nature is very well depicted, well framed and with good clarity of colours...
Good sharpness and fine details all over, composition wise I like the way you include some houses on top... also because of the scaling!
Greetings,
Pablo -

Hi Aleksander,
Thanks for keeping your promise. This is a wonderful view. The colours are simply great and the white cliffs contrsats nicely with blue sea. Well Done!

Hi Alexander
A classic shot and composition. I like the POV and, especially, the deep blue water. The contrast with the white cliff face is superb. The light is good, without being too bright and the exposue well balanced. Good work.
Aubrey

Hello Alexander, you have great colour and contrast here. And the details of this natural wonder are captured well.

Hello Alex
this is a Postcard cliché, but a very good one..
good light and colors.
well done.

loic

classique, oui, mais toujours aussi belle... Belle compo.
A+
Marie

Hi Alexander - a random find today, gorgeous scenery, even if it's very familliar, the light is very favourable in this case, beautiful shot.
