San Diego, California

It's been a while since I have posted, as I was swamped with volleyball coaching obligations. The weather, tides and my schedule finally synched up.

I like how the sky and water copy each other in shape, but not texture...very awesome shot Jimmy.

Lovely image. Perfect light. Works even better for me as a pano by cropping 1/2 the sky but I can go either way. :smile:

A gorgeous seascape. Can't find anything to nit, everything comes together beautifully.

A lot of comments can be made about this photo. Great leading lines; great texture/patterns; great contrasts between the elements of the photo; great color and reflection.
Exceptional in my opinion.

That's a beauty, Jimmy. It's as if someone put those rocks there specifically to help photographers create great compositions!

Very nice capture here. I love the way the rocks look at this location. The water in the middle portion of the composition provides a very nice path to the sky.

Really good, Jimmy. The reflective shapes in the rocks and clouds creates a nice synergy.

Amazing light and composition Jimmy. The clouds nicely mimic the foreground rocks which makes this a very dynamic scene. Well done.

Very nice leading lines both in the sky and the shoreline. I also like the designs on the rocks. Great job, very engaging Jimmy. Good luck with your coaching. I hope you find time to shoot more.
