About the Image(s)
The River Wye in the Peak district National Park, UK runs through the 300 feet deep limestone gorge known as Chee Dale. There is footpath passable except after heavy rains along the river through the gorge, which has to use stepping stones as some steep cliffs go right down into the river at various places on the pathway side. Taken on my XPro 2 with 16mm f2.8 lens at 1/45 sec, f9, ISO 400. A basic exposure correction and some straightening was undertaken in Lightroom. The image was converted to mono in Photoshop using the Black and White adjustment layer, and selectively sharpened using High Pass. The tops of the stepping stones were dodged and burnt to enhance the level of wear on the tops.

Flipping of course changes the sense of place.
The rocky path leading around the edge of the water works well.
