welcome to dps, angus.....
a very powerful image for your first posting.....beautiful in it's depth of field and dramatic lighting......i think the rock is one of the better parts of the frame with it's shadow and light.....so, for me.....it's not distracting....it's the show.....
as you can see, i did resize your image to 800ppi on the longest side.....this is an across site rule, so i would like you to take a few minutes to review
the faq's for this site and reccommend for your first few postings that you check the rules for the particular section that your posting in.....
thanks
