Sharing with you a view of the beautiful Oregon Coast. This was shot at blue hour earlier this weekend.

Nice photo, I think your processing has improved a lot from when I first noticed your HDR images! I am a person that likes warmth in my photos and so for me to say that the blue looks good is a compliment ( not saying that I am king, just know that when you can get someone to cross over and like a style outside their norm means the photo works)....

Thanks Rich. No saturation adjustments whatsoever here. What you see is what you'd see

Outstanding. One certainly gets the sense of a cloudy, chilly, day, with a storm rolling in. Just love the composition, and your use of HDR to control all the highlights.

This is a great picture! I really like the realistic HDR processing and the composition is right on pointe.
Love how you are immediately drawn to the rock in the foreground and then your eyes follow the flow of the rocks and water out of the image.

Nicely done

Rather than just say nice shot I looked around for something to fix. The only thing I can see is more detail in the shadows on the big rock on the left. It seems to me to be the main subject. What a rock. Great textures and colors to play with. It could be a main feature. Did you shoot more of it?

Good eye Bynx, I took the liberty of doing a quick edit to bring that detail back in.

I used nik color efex detail enhancer and used it as a layer mask to mask in the dark areas of that first rock. I then I added a little red to that rock area where it already showed signs of red and next adjusted yellow/green in that moss area...all else remains the same.

Rotanimod that front rock is just cool I must say you do really understand composition!!!
