I posted Negative Tide I on the ESS forums. Here is II. The -1.0 foot low tide sent the water very low which made for nice reflections. One question - there was a little haze so the sea stack formation on the Right is almost black while the ones further back have a lighter black to them. I personally like this effect since it provides me with depth, but my wife was not very keen on it. She thought the darkest one would grab all the attention. Any thoughts ?

IMO, this is a much stronger shot. I really like it. If anything I would light the upper part a tad, but that is about it.

John,
The placement of the sun is perfect. I could go either way on Jeremy's comment.

I'll look at bringing up the top a bit - it is a little dark. Glad you like, Jeremy.
Thanks, Phil. That was a fun outing, glad you could come along.

I am digging this as is John...I like the darkness of the rocks. Reminds me more of giants or something...

The haze creates a sense of distance and adds depth.

Hi John,
I like it as is as well - great sense of depth and the wet sand/reflections make for a strong FG. Nice work.

Great colors and saturation. I like it just the way you have it.

Well there ya go. I'll keep it the way it is. Thanks for the positive comments. I did try to lighten the top but it lost a bit of enveloping that the darker sky was giving the image.
By the way, anybody know the name of this group of sea stacks? It was mentioned on the trail head information board but I can't remember now the name of the group. The 3 somethings or somthin' like that.

The blacker rocks in the foreground help to anchor a point of interest near and around the setting sun. The clouds make that sky. From there it's a nice serence journey down the beach to the left. Well done, good comp. I like it.

You really caught some great cloud action. Looks great!

Looks like a real winner...

John, I really like this shot. you have captured the atmosphere of a beachy sunset perfectly. I think the sky is fine the way it is, doesnt need to be lightened.
