At one of my favorite spots on the Oregon coast, I had the chance to photograph these Postelsia in the middle of a raging inlet. These sea plants resemble tiny palm trees.

They withstood the constant punishment of the sea, but the next time I returned to this location, they were gone.

I like this dual tone and moody capture. Excellent.

Hi MajeedB...

This is a wonderful photograph that provides a very ethereal feeling to the viewer.

I might be tempted to try a version of it with some of the bottom cropped off. It might dramatize the tiny Postelsia even more.

Thanks
Tom

Hey Harsha,

That is really crazy! I thought those were tiny palm trees...

What a cool shot.

Very cool shot and mood. How big are these? I have no sense of scale here.
