A bit of a sneaker wave that swept over the foreground rocks and surprised me as I hit the shutter releass and then grabbed the tripod up out of harms way. Indian Beach at Sunset with Terrible Tillie or the Tillamook Rock Lighthouse in the distance.

Does look ok for MAn and NAture? Any suggestions?

VERY nice. Don't think I can say anything negative about this one.

Very nice, Mike... you handled this exposure very well - especially the difficult sky.. I might dodge the left half slightly is all..

Nice catch Mike. I agree with Ned on the left side. I might also crop the bottom off just to get rid of the bare sand on the bottom left corner.

Thanks Guys, good input.

I'd try to dodge the left side, the lower rocks especially.....oh wait, Ned just said this. Yeah, anyway, a very nice shot with great water action in any case.

Beautiful light you had, I agree the left side could be dodged/lightened a bit. Very nice.

Dodge, yes, slight tilt to the left, yes. Elsewise, dang!

Yet another vote for dodge the left (especially the rocks). Not sure about the tilt, but I am 100% sure about the "dang". Sweet shot Mike, the color is is beautiful.

Beautiful shot - the clouds on the right are outstanding, and Tilly is perfectly framed as a tiny point of interest. I'd echo the tilt suggestion.
