Haystack Rock in Cannon Beach.

This very beautiful image.

Well balanced exposure and composition wise, the dof is another add here and so the reflection of the mountain in the water makes extra interest to the water tone and colors.

Thank you my friend for sharing it and wishing you all of the best.

wonderful location captured beautifully.. very nice colors and sense of scale.. at the same time looks real and not overly manipulated.. very well done.. congrats...

The first thing that grabbed me was the streaks in the sky that seem to be matched by lines of waves beneath, and form nice leading lines to the rock.  Then theres the subtle illumination of the rock itself,  and further to this there is the presence of the human elements in the scene which add interest and scale. It might have been worth considering just turning the camera to the left a shade in order to get the rock into the thirds section, but the central composition isnt unattractive either.

Nice work Calvin!

Good to see you again, Rashed.

And good to see you again also, Tarek.

Thanks for the in-depth analysis and attention to detail, Alf.  Your words and consideration are very kind.

Great lighting, colors and shapes! Well composed also! Beautiful sky pattern and water waves! Couldn't be better! Cheers Calvin!

Yep, I'm proud of this one, Pierre.  Thanks so much!

A beautiful composition with very nice lighting, Calvin!

Calvin,

  Lucky you to capture this beautiful scene, love to be walking on that beach that time of day.  Beautiful image with wonderful composition , colors, & lighting.  Thanks for sharing.  Take care, Patsy

a lovely perspective, a well chosen time with the evening sun hitting the rock... an excellent exposure... i think it's an in camera exposure with no 'manipulation'... if you have the raw and decide to play around with it later, lighten up the sand a little... but be careful not to fiddle at all with the sky... it's the key to the beauty of this photograph... great work!

Thank you for the support, Ruud.

Glad you like it, Patsy.

Sadly selective manipulation is not in my skill set at the moment, Rajat.  Heh.  I know I need to work on it.  Thanks for your time and insight.

Excellent angle and colors, I like it in both versions, nice job, Calvin.

Cheers.

As always thanks for your encouragement, Alberto.

Also very good, but a bit better in b&w IMO. BR / Volker
