This is a 'feels like I'm there' image. the cool, moist air, the breeze off the water, so quiet and refreshing. I love this one.

Some great colors here Eva and the rocks provide an interesting foreground. The large version is a pleasure to view. Nice image.

Looks like you're getting some wonderful details and colors out of the film & scanning combination as seen with this beautiful scene, Eva.
I think you've captured the area very well with leaving a small amount of open area at the farthest point of land too. Kind of makes us follow the image in a CW path to that area. The FG rock area has some excellent detail and a variety of colors too. Another fine seashore capture. :cool:

I like the good detail in the foreground rocks and the great colors in the sky. The neutrals of the rocks go so well with the pastels of the sky and water. Lovely!

Sometimes velvia works for me, sometimes not--here it mostly works! Good stuff, Eva.

Eva, What a pretty scene! This has a wonderful mood and I really like the colors. The large version looks great where you can see all the detail and textures, especially in the foreground rocks. Very nice!
Happy Thanksgiving to you and your family!

Eva,

Not very often there's an image of the ocean and a rugged coastline that exudes quiet. But for some reason this one just does. Maybe it's the lack of waves or a calmness in the sea, perhaps the color as well. No drama here, just a quiet and peaceful coastal image. A quality you consistently capture.
