Seashore Growth

All along the shores lately we've been having major seaweed blooms causing some interesting scenes to be had. This was taken a few seconds after the sun came up flooding the shoreline in warm light.Nothing spectacular but a very nice morning to enjoy. Lots of green and yellow desaturation as it was very intense colors.

All C&C welcome and thanks for all the comments on the last image. Greatly appreciated.

That's some sweet light and color. You've accomplished the main goal of a photographer imo, and that's to take an ordinary scene and make it extraordinary. Excellent depth in your comp as well. Fine work, Bill!

For me the subtle warm lighting on the right makes this really nice. Nice job Bill.

Very nice indeed Bill, definitely like the peaceful mood, the warm light hitting the shore line along with color and comp, dont like the seaweed bloom, it makes fishing difficult :wink: . beautiful work.

Nice! The small version looks a bit dark, but the large version is spot on. I wish we had mosses like that over here as well.

Beautiful color and light. I'd like just a bit more water on the left to balance the comp, but very nice as is.

Very interesting take here, Bill. The seaweed is quite a mass along the shoreline. Excellent sunlight really highlighting the contrasting colors throughout. I always like these comps that provide a view like this where we tend to trek from near to far along the curves of the terrain. Well seen and captured. :cool:

Love the subtleties Bill. That soft lighting playing across the foreground is special. The white background isn't helping here though; it's better in the larger version with it's duller background.
