portugal Cabo da Roca II

Another shot from Cabo da Roca in Portugal where the Atlantic batters

against 450 foot cliffs.

Great view, good shot.

Wow I would love to capture a similar scene. You nailed that one in every aspect. Keep up the good work!

Excellent

Lovely deep tones, fresh water and air. Well done.

Very inspiring landscape. There is detail everwhere including the shadow areas

Very satisfying to look at.The light comes in so cheerful,what leads to the dark ocean.The details and colors come out so rich, it makes it to this unified picture.

I already recognized the place from the thumbnail. Great of you to show this version with so great details. Nice light and the foam on the waves lookes really nice here. Well done.

Thanks everyone!

 

Jan Olof, Alexandra, thanks - the colours are mostly due to underexposure needed to keep the detail in the white water of the waves.

 

Christopher, thanks, I needed to use PS to bring out the shadow detail.

 

Bente, thank you! I thought you might recognise it!

Beautiful combination of colours. The red colour of the rocks and the blue in the ocean.

Very good tight shot, nice diagonal layers composition. Colors and lighting are superb. What a majestic scenery !

Very nice, Colin. I like that you can't see a horizon, making for two main (and contrasting) elements, the rocks and water.

Colin- this is nice, kind of dark and desolate feeling, but I love the light and shadows. Nice job!

Hello Colin, exposing for the white water has brought out some very nice colours in the rock. The textures are very good too.

 

Best wishes. Peter

Interesting layers. My fav bits? The grass, a textural contrast against the rocks, is also making me notice the vegetation on the middle cliff. The middle cliffs also have a mini-me thing going on with the rocks right at the bottom. And the whole picture is balanced out by the diagonals of the waves and the triangle of blue matching the first two layers.

 

Which is all very dry and clinical, so how about I just say I bet those waves sounded great...

Colin, the beautiful brown rock"looking" at the blue water, and the diagonal composition are making it for me. Very good exposure and light and the waves especially in the forground are adding to the beauty! Pnina

Colin, nice color and composition. The little bit of side light hitting the red rocks is effective in revealing texture. ^_^

Hi Colin!! I stopped by briefly to see what new stuff you've got up ... and this is FABULOUS!! You KNOW how I love landscapes ... and this makes me want to stop in Portugal while I'm in Europe. :-) It's a gorgeous spot, and very well captured here. Your DOF is great!! Regards!

Beautiful seascape, Colin. I can almost hear the waves lapping against the rocks.

Colin, looks so desolate and yet fascinating. Love the light and composition.

Thanks everyone! I really enjoyed this place with its massive cliffs and edge-of-the-world feel. The sun was coming in and out from behind clouds and lighting up small areas as you can see here.

Thanks again, I appreciate all your kind comments.

Wonderful seascape. Great textures, lighting, and composition.

I know the place. I've been there with my camera... I envy your capture!

And I admire your good vision of the image to capture and the patience and good timing to wait for the adequate ray of light to shoot.

Very nice shot.

Colin, a beautiful image, I especially like the lighting on the red rocks and the white waves. Nicely done. Cheers, Sondra
