Pebbles v.2
Went back to Bean Hollow to reshoot the pebbles.

Here's a link to the original: Stones of Time. I needed to reshoot because of the oof corners. My second shot is slightly different, but I am still very happy with it.

Such an awesome beach.

Thanks for any input.

A very unique find. Well done, Benjamin.

Benjamin,

I can see why you returned this is such an unusual and compelling vignette. It's like mother nature sorting her treasures. There are several stones in the hollows which are definitely agates and Jasp-agates. The colors are vibrant and alive, whether by the ocean or fog, the light is even and filtered. Excellent image.

Pretty cool. I'm glad that you went back to shoot it again, because I loved the first version and the fully focused areas in this one make it rock IMO. In fact this shot inspired me to visit this beach yesterday to play around with all its crazyness once again. I could spend days (in fact, years) hunting new compositions there.

I love this beach, the compositions are indeed endless. I was there today again, shooting the wonderful rocks and tafoni structures. Did you get any keepers Greg? Shoot me an email and let me know how it went, I'd love to see what you brought back!
