Moonstone Beach C&C

[anm90]

Made a trip to Moonstone Beach in Cambria, CA recently with my newly acquired graduated neutral density filters. It took a lot of experimentation but I feel like I kind of got this one right. Had to brighten up the land a bit in post but hopefully with a bit more practice I can get some better exposures with less guess work. It's also a bit noisier than I expected. Most likely due to the underexposure on the foreground. Other than that, what are your thoughts on this one?

1. ISO 200, f/22, 1/8s

I like it, but I would edit it more make the colours "pop"
It look a little washed out maybe? Im not sure, just my opinion

I was instantly thinking the same as Eventer has expressed before me: these colours seem to ASK for yet some more chance to "pop".
A graduated filter ... :scratch: ... I think I should think about getting one myself at last, too.
