Went up the coast a bit for a quick overnight to El Capitan State Beach, one of the fine California state parks. Not much of a colorful sunset, so I went monochrome. The distant land to the right is Santa Cruz Island of the Channel Islands National Park, 35 miles away. Fuji XPro1, 14mm.

Hey Jeffrey,

Pretty cool shot, I really like the curving water in the foreground.

Thanks guys. I only had one day there and was with the wife and dog, so photography was not my #1 priority.

Wow…great shot

Composed well. Nicely done.

What was shutter at? Looks like shot when water was receding, right?

Beautifully composed Jeffrey!
The slow shutter speed curve and BW processing does it for me.

This is such a great ocean shot, you really nailed the composition.

I personally would enlarge and hang on the wall but before doing that, I would play around with the upper left coast line. My eye tends to gravitate to the white area on the coastline. maybe some cloning or tone down the whiteness….but worthy of some attention before hanging up

Great image!!

Steve, thanks for the comments. Before I finished this image, the upper left ocean cliffs were the brightest points in the image and I toned them to be no brighter than any other bright areas in the frame. I see that they could still be diminished further. Good point.

Superb composition and the that round flow just makes it an outstanding image.

Yes, very nice image and comp. The B&W works well here for what would probably be a bland color image.

Agree.

Very nice Jeffrey. The B&W and slow shutter work well here.
