[Note Guidelines] Photographer's Note
Near dawn at China Camp State Park this morning. Every boat dreams of being in the water. I imagine this one is no different.

About China Camp (from State Parks Website)

"The park has a natural watershed along the shores of San Francisco Bay. Features include an extensive intertidal salt marsh, meadow and oak habitats, that are home to a variety of wildlife, including deer, squirrels and numerous birds.

A Chinese shrimp-fishing village thrived on this site in the 1880s. Nearly 500 people, originally from Canton, China, lived in the village. In its heyday, there were three general stores, a marine supply store and a barber shop.

Fisherman by trade in their native country, they gravitated to the work they knew best. Over 90% of the shrimp they netted were dried and shipped to China or Chinese communities throughout the US."

WB: Cloudy
PP: Levels, Saturation, and USM

Added a Workshop to correct the horizon a bit. I gotta slow down before I post. :)

Very good colours. I like the milky effect of the ebb tide.

The touch of the perfectionist: the horizon was just a little bit inclined. I like a lot the effect of the long exposure on the waves.

Hello Mike,
You have some breath-taking shots in your gallery!
I love the character of the boat and pier in this one, as well as the details of the pebbles on the beach, and the effects of the water due to the long exposure. Oh yes, and the colors are gorgeous.
All the best,
Karen
P.S. I post too quickly as well--every time. Sigh.
