[Note Guidelines] Photographer's Note
Another shot from China Camp State Park at dawn. At this vantage point one can see San Pablo Bay and way out there (but not terrribly obvious in this shot) are the shipyards of Oakland.
This is another one of my first attempts using ND grad filters. The foreground wasn't as illuminated as I hoped after a 30 second exposure, but I still liked the colors and thought I'd post the shot anyhow.

Excellent sunrise, the light is great and the rocky shore quite interesting. The image is neatly composed. More of a TE picture.

Very nice. Great work for your first attempts with grad ND filters! Great location.

Hello Mike,
Very nice shot. I like how you composed your shot, the division works here very well and adds great depth. POV, colors and scenery are incredible.

Very high quality, as are the rest of your pictures.
The stone formation in the foreground is very interesting, fosil tentacles? head of Medusa?

This is a fantastic seascape photo with excellent sunrise. You included an interesting foreground. The colors are stunning too.

Well done
