Olympic Blue/ Repost

This is a beautiful and very peaceful view, Chris.  I like the balance between the stacks on the left and the subtle rainbow plus distant stack on the right.  The reflections in the wet sand are a fine addition.  I think lightening the dark sky in the left half would enhance the mood.

I understand your appreciation of this kind of experiences, and you have successfully translated that into this photo. Looks relaxing, just like a walk on the beach should be! I think the left side of the photo could use a bit of dodging, to make it match the right side a bit more. The not so obvious rainbow fragment is a nice bonus!

Thanks guys!
yeah, that's polarization. I worked on it some already. Thought it looked reasonable in the full sized file on my home monitor. It does look more pronounced here from my iPhone though.

Chris, this is a wonderful scene. I also find it has images within images a result of your composition overall. Which is a good thing in my book. Works just fine as is, but optionally can benefit from a few more looks just by crops. The suggested changes by others could bring out other looks as well. Just a really fine view that was well photographed......

Chris,

This image brings me to the beach with you. I can feel the cool air of the Olympic coast on my face, I can breath in the fresh sea smell, and I can put my toes into the sand and chillax. The image ois nicely balanced with reflections, mid ground seat stacks, and the blues and clouds up top, not to mention the hint of a rainbow.

I would mess around with the darkened sky, but small stuff for such an inviting scene.

Beautiful. The quiet peaceful mood this has is wonderful. It had to feel so nice being there and you captured it beautifully. That rainbow is an added bonus.

Well-seen and executed. There's lots of pictures from here, but this stands out.

Chris,

A beautiful seascape for sure. Not as dramatic as your earlier posts, but this one isn't about drama, just peaceful and enjoyable; brings you right there as others have mentioned.

No real nits here, although I have suggestion.  Rather than dealing with the darker, polarized left half of the image, the right side seems to need more contrast to match the left, rather than the other way around.  Specifically, the sandy part.  I realize the ocean mist is in play with the seastack in the distance, but I'd like to see more contrast in the beach.  Minor as that might be.

The little rainbow - icing on the cake!

Chris,
Beautiful image. Excellent comp. with effective placement of elements. That rainbow really balances out the comp. nicely by adding interest to the URC. Only suggestion would be to try and even out the sky due to the polarizer effects. 

Add contrast to the beach, and left side. Also did some dodge/burn on the sky to even it out more.
I think it looks better, and livelier too.

Thanks

Hey Chris. Nice job.  Cool you got a bit of a rainbow here.
