Still a week and a half until I get my 5D back. Seems more like a year from now. Still going through the archives and processing new images. This is one taken a few months ago near Depot Bay. Thanks for commenting.
Marc, this one has a dreamy feel to it. But I also get the feeling that I'm standing on this rock, completely surrounded by water and the tide is rising.
This one still has the Adobe RGB profile attached. I think you left out converting to RGB before posting! It looks even better in PS!
That is really awesome, Marc. I love the bright background sky.... you really know the timing when the just goes down but you still have excellent ambient light..... I'm learning...
This is a little disturbing to me. I guess I feel like the sun ought to be in a certain spot, but it's not there. I think it's the light on the ocean in the center that makes me think the sun should be where it isn't.
The foreground is awesome. The draining rock just below the horizon on the left is a really nice touch.
Marc, I think this is a wonderful example of breaking rules and making it work---(1) your center of composition, imo the inlet into the tidepool, is close to the center of the frame rather than any of the conventional strong points at 1/3 and 2/3 of the distance across the frame, yet this works well; (2) I don't usually like blurry long-exposure water, but you've captured enough detail to make it very interesting; and (3) the sun appears to have set roughly dead center of the frame. Yet it all works, it's a glorious image!
You know, Marc, your photos are so intense that I have a hard time looking at them for a long time. This one has interesting places but everything is moving, the water running round and round in that pool, filling in and out, the sky is screaming to me.
It's wonderful but it's not calming, I feel like I'm witnessing Creation, it's too much. It's a beautiful but, for me, I'd can't imagine buying it and hanging it, it's too turbulent, too active... It's like it's too awesome! I find no resting place, no place to relax and explore. It's like looking into the cone of a erupting volcano, it's beautiful but watch out!
OK so here's the ONLY nit I could find in this image as far as "technicals" go - the horizon is showing just a bit of barrel distortion. Not a bunch but just enough for my overly critical fotografer's eye to notice. I bet Joe person on the street would NEVER notice it. They'd be more like Mark standing there scratching their head thinking "Wow that is one TRIPPY image man"!!

Nice job.

And nary a sunstar to be found!
Keep up the image review. I'm loving it.
