Bandon Beach, Southern Oregon
Canon 1DsIII, 24mm TSE, 1/5 sec @ f/11, ISO 100, Polarizer

This is a somewhat different take on Bandon Beach. As the sun came over the horizon, everything took on this incredible warm glow. This is pretty much the look and light of that morning.

Comments and critiques appreciated.

Beautiful image here, David! The warm/copper tones in the reflection really make this unique and attractive. :toast: I might lean on healing those bubble spots out though, as they take a little bit away from the fg attention...

I agree with Rick's comments David, IE love the warm color especially as captured in the shoreline reflection, the light pink distant cloud line behind the rocks makes for an appealing BG!
Congrats!

Thanks Rick and Craig, never even noticed the bubbles...will take a few minutes and remove them.

I like it also David. I love the foreground with the sepia tone. I have seen the stacks many times and I always stay a motel just up the stairs from here!

Nice warm tones there, David. I like the reflection in the shoreline.
I like the bubbles, too. You have a lot of FG there and the way the bubbles are "lined up", they kind
of lead me to the surf. IMO.

Very nice colors here David. I like the reflected light on the water and the 3 small clouds hanging just over the rocks.
