[Note Guidelines] Photographer's Note
A few weekends ago I was down in Santa Cruz at the Natural Bridges State Beach. Just after sunset I was crawling around this rocky shore to try and capture it's texture. Ultimately it took three shots at varied exposures then combined in Photomatix to produce the effect I wanted.

i like your technique of capturing the details of the textures here, Vincent. the green patches of moss on the rocky shore are clearly seen here. it adds to the diversity of colours in a frame dominated by warm tones. well done!

The details in this are amazing Vincent, especially in the FG! The warm glow just attracts your eye right up into the shot! Amazing clarity here and voila~ the horizon is straight! Unheard of these days! HAHA!

Superb shot with trademark light, composition, and excellent use of the slow shutter as always. I've just bought a graduated filter and I'm keen to start trying a few shots like this!

Surreal and impressive, combining the texture of the rocky shore, the satin effect of the water, and the glowing colors of the sunset. The silhouetted structure on the horizon is an interesting feature on which to rest the eye after traveling across the massive rough rock surface. Excellent color palette for appeal and mood. Well done:)

Hi Vincent
The long exposure gives the ocean a smooth look compared to the rocky terrain, and that pagoda looks great against that dying sunset.
A real beauty
Dot

Beautiful Vincent...I am really looking forward to seeing how you get these great shots...nice work.

Hello Vincent
W0ondeful image captured in a great and impressive vertical perspective. Fantastic colours and light. The land seems a giant living being, so organic is your capture. Excelent.
