The Fissure

Down by the ocean in heavy rain when right on cue the skies broke right at sunrise. Found this crack which seemed to make some nice leading lines and got very low to make this image.

Nikon D800
16-35 @ 16mm
.6 sec. @ f16
CPL partial.

All C&C greatly appreciated and thanks for the comments on the last image.

Beautiful, Bill. The large view is a must see. The blues and golds work especially well together. The rocks have a metallic feel to them. Very nice.

Love your comp here with the rugged fg and your lines do work well. The low pov really grabs the viewer. Nice sunrise colors too Well done!! Chet.

Lots of details in the large version and the blue and gold combo works very well, Bill. The leading line of the fissure also gives some wonderful depth to the scene. Beautifully done.

beautiful scene and great light. I am on the fence about the size of the rock in the foreground. It has nice leading lines, but it for me it tends to over powers the light and the background which is the main focus of the image.

Ominous looking and a killer sky!
The leading line works well And the processing is the usual top notch.

Well, yes! The golds and blues are great, and the rocks have a nice sheen. I might crop just a bit off the bottom to bring the horizon onto a third.

You had some great light break through for you. The blues and golds are beautiful, and the reflections on the rocks and the water add a very nice extra element to view. Very well done.

Really beautiful stuff going on in that sky Bill. I might take a tad off the bottom too, for the reasons noted above.

Very nice light and comp, Bill. The scene is a little yellow on my uncal monitor (so please take it with a grain of salt) so I could see it turn a little more orange/red
