Oregon ....

What was your vantage point? Is this an aerial view?

 

Great color and drama. I can't think of anything "funny" to say on this one Ken. No puns or quips. Sorry Tex... it is just too handsome an image for humor. How thrilled I would have been to see this, not to mention capture it on film!

The Vantage point is a cliff which runs parallel to the coast in this part of Oregon ...... a special place for sure.

Beautiful spot!

Another great shot!! I really admire your work.

Fantastic !!!

great Ken ! Well done !!

Yes it is good shot. Just not too shure about the shadows (?) but I guess you did the best possible.Regards PK.

Oooooooohh! Aaaaaaaahhhhhhh!

tough lighting sitiuation!...but this still works very well...good composition and dramatic light!

Just perfect!

Exceptional work!!! I especially like the layering of the rocks caused by the sun; it provides a great sense of depth.

Beautifully executed, the light capture is worth a thousand words.

Wonderful !!!!!

It feel like I barking going in to another lights' world

Very dramatic lighting. Great job of handling exposure in these lighting conditions with just enough light to see a little foreground detail. A large print of this must look fantastic.

Astonishing and beautiful.

I agree with Bert that what makes this truly exceptional is the layering of the rocks as they silhouette ontop of eachother. A sunset does it again! Nice work.

Amazing color layering.

Marvelous, surreal and dreamlike....a masterpiece!

Wonderful photo.

Excellent lighting and a nice array of colors. The graduation of bright glowing light to the dark and misty, which goes from top to bottom AND left to right is quite unusual and very dramatic. Very nice!

Fantastic lighting!

Absolutely beautiful, the lighting is wonderful as is the composition.

Now i know, what is dreamlike! GREAT image! the atmosphere is so marvelous!

Ken, there's more than a touch of magic in this lovely image.You've overcome all the technical obstacles that must have confronted you - the exposure must have been a headache but here it is spot on.The blue of the foreground throws into greater relief the splendour of the golden light in the sky.The stripe of raking sunlight in bottom left quarter of the frame is very effective in breaking up the 'coldness' of the foreground.One of your best in my opinion.
