The Slot, Point Lobos

A beautiful shot.

At first glance, I thought those were turtle heads. :)

Don,  This is an excellent detail shot that needs to be viewed large. The detail in the pebbled sand and textures of the rocks and water are terrific.  Isn't this a wonderful park?  My wife and I visited it shortly on a Big Sur trip a few years ago.  I think this might have been the sight where we saw seals up on the rocks?  Nicely done.  Happy New Year.   Larry

Larry Thanks, Yes, a great place to return to as its always different, and there's always an opportunity to Photograph wildlife, Birds, Otters, Seals, and I even saw two Bobcats cross on the path I was on, but the lens I had attached at the time was too long. Maybe next time!

Excellent shot Don. Lots to gaze at!

Thank you Jim.

Great shot.

I hope you don't mind the question, but can you comment on the shutter speed?  I see a lot of coastal photos that go for the long exposure look, but you managed to freeze some of the water movement while showing motion at the head of the wave.  It makes for a very nice progression from the stationary rock, to the slow moving water finally to the crashing wave.

Chip, The shutter time here was about 1/2 a second.
