Hello Bev,
as you know we have our share of granite here in the West Country,but I struggle to remember a chunk this big beside a walking track,the obliging gentleman is dwarfed by it`s size.
The very appealing side light works very well in revealing the shape and textures of a lovely shot.
This morning has started wet and chilly with worse to come I fear...
Kind regards Les

Hello Bev,
It's quite a funny picture, but from the thumbnail I thought it would be even funnier, like you had made the man look like he was balancing the rock on his head in some strange way, similar to how tourists try to look like they're keeping the leaning tower of Pisa from falling. The man does well just for the measurements though. The rock is quite amazing, and if you had told us this was a man-made sculpture I might have believed you. The cuttings look so intended and well considered. I actually see a rather sad face, or maybe it's the head of a dog.
An interesting contribution to TE with very nice colours.
Kind regards,
Gert

Hello Bev
Yep! it does look like Pacman. It has a real skull like shape to it and I am surprised it has not been given a name by the locals. Real sense of the scale and wonderful tonal quality of these amazing rocks.

Hello Bev,

I think I'll give a game of Pacman a miss just now (I'm far to young to remember Pacman anyway) but I see what you mean: this huge lump of rock does look like a head with a mouth just waiting to gobble something up - luckily, your hunky male model has crept up behind and is not at the mouth end!

This is a beautifully detailed photograph which shows the grain and tecture of this lovely pink granite perfectly. The bright sunshine is beautiful as are the colours and the surroundings too - just the thing to cheer me up on this cold, dark, windy and snowy day.

A very well composed photograph with lovely light and colours, exceptional sharpness and an interesting and amusing note to accompany it.

Excellent!

Kind Regards,

John.

Hello Bev,

Looks like this big granite boulder has been carved into centuries or even thousands of years ago in prehistoric times. The man at right adds scale. The man made construction at far right in the distance is roughly the same color hue as the rock. The blue sky makes a great backdrop. Tfs!

bev

this region of france looks like the home of granite, even the churches are made of this stone. nice view of the face of the stone and I liked the inclusion of the man and the church ahead too.

take care
