Pretty neat formations. Did you try more of an abstract feel with just the lower half? Nice texture. :toast:

Hey Craig,

Neat textures. Im loving the bottom 2/3 of this very organic.
Some great features in that strata

Love the textures and could see working these alone w/o the sky. This has a very HDRish processed look to it, 'specially the sky. I like how that adds to the abstract quality.

Craig,

Looks like you registered a while ago so I'm not sure if this is your firs post in ES&S. But regardless, I would like to welcome you here and look forward to your images and participation.

Very interesting and effective capture from Pt. Lobos. The geologic formations are quite fascinating. Honestly though, I wish there was a tighter capture to really see the details of the formations. But from a broader perspective, the geology is still captured quite well and the sky actually helps provide a sense of place, so I think the overall composition works quite well.

Hard to appreciate all the nuances of the details at this size, but I get the picture... :wink:

Welcome!

Lon

Thanks to everyone for the feedback. I'm going to explore your suggestions regarding a crop off the top and go back through other images from this trip and look for tighter compositions to work with.
