Rosalyn Hilborne club has replied to Günter Klaus club
Thank you very much. When entering the grotto, there is no light, so we have to be very careful and there is an alternative route to take if needed. I love to see the grotto and walk in with great care :-)

Best wishes Günter and happy Wednesday.

An great series Rosa...............you've managed the light and shadows perfectly, particularly in the main image, which is especially good.

The detail in all three images is excellent.............beautifully captured.

We had sunshine today and no rain...........yay! I think that's it for the week though.

Rosalyn Hilborne club has replied to Keith Burton club
Thank you Keith. I have to admit it is one of my better efforts from the cave. I have been disappointed many times. Very pleased you like them, much appreciated.

We have to be grateful for the one bright day of the week then Keith :-)

On the first photo, it looks like you are in the mouth of a huge animal !!!!!!

(I hope you were able to come out unscathed !!!!!!)
2 years ago.
Rosalyn Hilborne club has replied to Nouchetdu38 club
It felt like that Nouchet! :-) I was unscathed thankfully. One has to tread very carefully along the wet and dark entrance. To be honest, I am surprised "health & safety" have not banned us from it!!

I do love grottos and caves, dear Rosa...so I enjoy this beautiful series of yours particularly.
The first image is maybe my favourite, I love the great framing and the way you handled light, not easy at all! But all of them are fascinating and well captured, bravo!
Take care my friend,
2 years ago.
Rosalyn Hilborne club has replied to Adele club
Thank you very much for your kind words dear Adele. Sometimes I miss the grotto out on my walks as it is dark and wet, but I couldn't resist it this time :-) I have taken photos in there many times, unsuccessfully, so I was actually quite pleased with these. Could do better next time though. All the best and take care :-)

A destacar el dominio que tuviste sobre las luces, porque en las tres fotos se ve lo que se quiere mostrar sin ningún exceso o falta de luz y ese lugar era difícil controlar la luz, por incidir la obscuridad del interior y la luz que entra del exterior. Muy bien, Rosa.

Rosalyn Hilborne club has replied to José Manuel Polo club
Thank you José Manuel. It is difficult to get a decent picture in the grotto and from it. I have tried many times and been disappointed. I think these are my best effort so far, but I still hope to do better :)
Sunday greetings, Rosa.
