Playa Vallina, Asturias

Vieri · Jun 21, 2019

Playa Vallina, in Asturias (Spain), features a beautiful double arch surrounded by crazily-shaped eroded rocks. It takes a bit of balance to get there (stones can be slippery) but it's definitely worth the hike. A 23 seconds exposure created at sunset with Hasselblad X1D, Hasselblad XCD 30mm and Formatt-Hitech Firecrest Ultra filters.

Thank you for viewing, best regards

Beautiful shot, it has a very historic vibe to it, almost like ancient ruins.

Again, like out of an epic fantasy or SciFi movie, the work is breath taking.

keep that up.

Belter of a shot Vieri, I really like how you've resisted pulling up the foreground exposure too much which really emphasises the structure and colour in the sunlight creating a split tone in the lights and the shadows. The structures at either side create an oval of blue really framing the shot and pulling the eye to the highlights and colour in the centre. The reflection has a muted palette with the hotspot in the center drawing the attention back to the highlights in the sky. Leading lines draw the eye in from the bottom and sides to subtley support. A considered, well balanced, beautifully processed image.
