Cape Kiwanda Close Ups
I've been processing 2 different images from Cape Kiwanda and I wanted to get some opinions about which one you prefer. Both of these images are from the area where the old Keyhole Arch was. I was hoping for some nice sunset light, but the marine layer crushed that hope with it's mighty fist! This gave me the opportunity to focus on the finer details of the moving water.

Thanks for your input.

Way to stick and move when you don't get the conditions you want. I think the first one take it away. The brighter streamers and the flow of the water on the bottom are both great detail filled lines. The shadows in the upper right maybe could be opened up a bit. Cool shot. :toast:

I'll vote for the first myself; the water is definitely better. I love the anemones peaking through. Nice spots of color.

The first for sure! :cool:

First one for me also. It's more vibrant with good water flow. :smile:

Ditto...the slower shutter speed makes for more pleasing effect in the sweeping movements of the water at the rock/water border. Nice job!
