Granite

I love the tension and flow here. Very satisfying. Would love to hear how you chose focus point and depth of field. I am guessing they required considerable thought. I like the orientation as presented btw. It adds to the feeling of balance. If you turn it 90 degrees counterclockwise then I think it will be bottom-heavy.

What Jon said. This screams to be BIG!

Makes me feel as if I were entering one of the megalithic tombs (dolmens) in Ireland, and there is bright sunshine coming in from the left.

@jon koss @Eric Rose Thanks for the feed back, its appreciated. The location is very interesting, its documented to being one of the hide outs of a famous Australian bush ranger https://www.tenterfieldtourism.com.au/business-details.php?bid=108 and no doubt before him Aboriginals would of used the place. The whole region is littered with immense granite boulders, some precariously perched on top of another. While exploring this group of above ground caves, I went down a small dead end corridor and turned around to see the image and raced back to the car to get my 4x5 and a tripod. The 2 rocks to the side support the one in the middle, could of shown a cave but I was only interested in the contours and shapes. Was pretty confined location and wanted to get as much depth of field as possible with out making the exposure too long. Camera was close to the rock on the left, so I gave a slight swing to get more and throw focus a little on the one on the rights, so they evenly direct you to the middle. Orange filter for contrast, then low contrast print, noticed the negative was more dramatic, so I reprinted to make a suitable (dodge and burned to make a flat positive) negative image, took about 12 prints to get this far.

@Brendan Quirk Its a bit like that with out the damp cold and leprechauns, is a negative, so light is the other way around.

Very well done, I really like it. Black borders work nicely.
