The Last Lights

Gallery: LandscapePosted December 27, 2013558 views15 comments

In recent weeks the sea in Asturias (Spain) was stunnig with waves of 6-8 meters height all days. This afternoon on the "El Silencio" beach the noise of the waves produced fear.

I love the dramatic light and also love how you composed the scene. The water action along with the cloud and the glowing rocks in the background make for a very beautiful image. Well done

Bill and Nancy found this to be a dramatic image. It is!

Very nice image Jose. Beautiful colors. I really like the collection of different elements here from the glowing cliffs to the foreground water back to the crashing waves on the left. Well done.

I can feel the drama as the water rushes towards (?) me. Beautiful light on the cliff. A lot cyan in the water and sky though.

Thanks to all for the comments. Ronald, the water direction in the lower image is moving away from me because the sea entry by a small channel left of my position. I have to look again the white balance in the raw

Crazy good Jose. The cyan doesn't look to strong to me. You've set the bar high on your seascapes.

This is really nice, Jose! A beautiful scene and I especially like what the warm light on the background rocks adds to the feel of this.

This is a truly superb composition! I wonder how much longer that narrow formation will survive with waves like you describe pounding it.

Excellent seascape. The golden light in the distance is a nice touch.

A very dramatic and impressive shorescape, Jose! Excellent composition that captures the depth and details of the scene. The larger version is required viewing as it really provides a realistic presence. It puts you right in the middle of it all!

The last light on the peak is just incredible. Great contrast with the blue foreground and smashing coast on the left
