Setting sun
D2Xs, 17-55 @ 26, f13

Great scenery, no people, and no clouds; I never get any clouds out here. :smile: :frown:

You never do get any clouds here.....interesting, eh? I think the best NW coast shot ever just might come from this very uncooperative beach...if only.......
I think the foreground in this shot might benifit from a bit more saturation - if possible, to match the sky. Looks pretty good overall.

It's a nice shot, mark. I would like to see some rocks on the left-hand side for balance.

I agree with Marc, and also take a bit of sky out, making the eye focus more on the fg first.

Beautiful Mark. Adding the sun as you did really helps the lack of clouds. I love how the lines sweep into the photo. I agree with Rick, and would be tempted to crop out some of the top and left, maybe using a 5x8 format?

A prettuy dramatic scene you captured. If only that sun was a little more to the right so you could get that sunstar effect. I usually don't go for the sun star much but I think it would really work with this shot.

Very nice, Mark. I think it's quite good as is. Looks like the sun is punching a hole for itself right through the rock, laser-like. The fg leading lines are impressive too.

Mark,
A wonderful light airy look to this. The light warm pastel glow makes this for me.

The foreground is crazy, Mark!

Great one, Mark.. . the rocky area in the foreground is very reminiscent to the area around Cape Arago, Oregon...
