p.1 #1 · Oregon Coast Boiler Bay

I've posted a couple other shots from this shoot over on the Landscape forum, so you might be getting tired of these, but I thought I'd post this one over here. Shot with the good old D300 and 10-20 in Boiler Bay, OR.

Thanks for looking!

the foreground rock just plain looks weird to me, either it is an HDR gone wild or an overuse of fill flash. IMO it should be backed way off , nice choice of shutter speed here tho

Thanks for the feedback, this is a one shot photo, and I didnt use any flash. I did use a couple grads at different heights to make the shot though. I'll take another look.

I love it, nice work! It looks more like a painting than a photo.

I dialed back the foreground a bit for you there, that look better to your eye?

I am in agreement with John, the rock in the foreground does not look natural. I am sure you used a graduated neutral density filter for the sky but when I do shots like this, I like to underexpose slightly the foreground to make it more natural.
Obviously, that is my opinion. It is a great shot otherwise.
