From my trip down the Oregon Coast last month with Trevor. C+C appreciated.

Dang, Bryan, picture perfect!

This might be my favorite of you work I've seen so far. I really like the handling of exposure and rich, vibrant colors throughout.

Great job of handling a difficult exposure.

You done really good. I especially applaud your decision to shoot fast so as to capture detail in the ocean waves. More!

Wow Bryan!! I really like this!!! Indeed one of your best pieces to date!! My only nit would be to crop down the sky about 15% of the total image height. I also agree that the shutter speed works very well here.

Very well done Bryan!!

Yeah, I was wondering about the sky being a little too vast. I was trying not to change my composition because there were some perfect little whispy clouds hanging around above that would have lit on fire should the sun have not been blocked by incoming clouds after it settled below the horizon - but it never materialized. The one time I try to show some restraint and discipline. :rolleyes:

Thanks for the feedback all.

Bryan...fricken sweet image ya got there. If I were to have a nit, it'd be crop half the sky out.

The only problem with the sky is that it goes almost black. You can't buy that sky! Look at what you have, it starts at the sun, yellow, orange, violet, light violet and then starts in on blue! You might tone the whole thing down a bit but I'd print this and I'll bet it will sell.

Very nice! A peaceful scene with a beautiful color range. I agree with the slight cropping of the sky. Well done :toast:
