A New Start

Down by the ocean a few days ago and couldn't pass up this scene. The ocean was very calm and some nice light was produced. Hope everyone has a great year ahead and great light.

Interesting detail at the horizon and just enough underwater detail. Nice light on the foreground rocks too.

This is just sweet! The color, detail, comp, and lighting control all come together. I have got to get me a D800!

Looks like the new year is inspiring a lot of great work!! Beautiful light combined with a strong foreground here. My eyes could wander around the foreground enjoying all of the detail.

Thanks guys. Morris I'm trying to figure the new rig out. Dynamic range is unreal. A big change going to full frame.

Beautiful image, Bill. The detail in the large version is excellent.. I also like it with a small sky crop. Well done. Chet

"nice light", come on! I'd say great light.

, Besides the great sky, I especially like the subtle glow on the foreground rocks and the lovely reflection in the tidal channel.

Just Gorgeous! Love every detail and color. The channel lends itself nicely to a beautiful comp.
What a great way to start the new year!

Beautiful colors and textures. Also like the water leading your eye back to the sunset.

awesome, Bill! The angle of the rock is perfect and the textures really nice. I also love the slight vingette in the sky, really serves to focus my sight
