This is the north shore just 15mins from my house, I liked the deep green seaweed on the foreground rock so I emphasised It in photoshop and tweaked the contrast in Nikon NX from a single raw file.

Another something very special from you as usual Douglas, right place right time yet again my friend , superb, well done

This shows your trademark mastery of saturation and light. Nice graduated levels throughout the shot, beautiful capture of the geometry of sunlit clouds and moss-softened stones. Lovely work.

Beautiful evening colours and a great composition - sharp details and contrasting colours in the foreground leading out to the warm colours of the setting sun.
Thanks for sharing

I like the green moss in the foreground. It helps the mood. The shapes and textures are fascinating. The light rays are well seen and captured. TFS. Karin

Hi Douglas,
A lovely sunset. The vertical format suits very well here. The green seeweed adds colour to the foreground. Great low light capture.

NX is fun to work with. It recognizes the rich colors produced bu the D300 alright. Having said that the richness of the green FG is ooutstanding and for me is the dominent component.

Hi Douglas,
A breathtaking view and a breathtaking photo. The green seaweed does make the FG even more beautiful. Superb work on the composition using the weed to lead the eye to the golden sun. The transition of the cool to warm colors in perfect. I love the shadows casted by the clouds.
TFS,
Niek

I love it Douglas... you have some really fantastic photos and this is another. POV, lighting, processing, color and more... all well done. TFS

Marvelous landscape. Wonderful light.

This is just stunning Douglas! Amazing work here, I can see I missed a whole lot while being gone! I need to catch up! LOVE how you used the grad filter here, I need to try this as my experiments without one were dismal! Nice colors, love those rays of light!
