Beautiful shots on one of the best beaches in the entire state. In all the years I lived in Monterey, I don't think I ever went in the early morning. Obviously, I missed out.
Thanks guys, I appreciate all the critiques and the kind words.
Ravitej: It's hard to explain my post processing, but I usually start in LR, and contrary to what most people do, I usually make my initial image as "blah" as possible. I reduce contrast when most would increase it, I remove blacks when most would add. I do 90% of finishing it in photoshop using mostly levels work. I guess the mist effect you are talking about is simply playing with the output slider in levels once my image is done.
