it's Kelp, very prominent type of vegetation all along the pacific coasts.

Thanks for all your Kelp sorting that out!

Very nice, Majeed!

Thanks Charlie.

Here's my straightening attempt. I used a combination of distortion correction (+10%) and leveling (-.75) in Capture NX2.

Enough OCD for tonight I think.

You're right, it looks more straightened! I did correct for distortion with lens profile in Lightroom 4. Nice edit!

:mrgreen: I love help/kelp jokes. (ya, I'm a dork, I know)

In other news... :roll:

My eyes keep darting back and forth from the hilltop to the kelp in this splendidly executed photo. Both elements fight well for my attention, and while that kind of ambivalence often indicates a weak composition, here it feels like a strength, though I'm not sure I can explain why. I think it's creating a kind of resonance in my brain. Well, whatever it is (or isn't), the effect is not at all unpleasant and it holds my attention and keeps this image in my mind well after I've clicked to another page. So, I like it very much.

Very nicely worded! I appreciate the comment and was hoping to achieve something like this. Thanks Jaemie!
