Wow! Great drama and vanishing lines effect to this scene, as the alternating horizontal stripes of sand and water gain distance from the viewer. To my eye, this is almost an abstract image. I like the sky treatment and the tonal range is rich . Superb 3 dimensional effect with the foreground beach grounding the scene. Who needs mountains, when you have this natural beauty? One of my top 10 picks. 10
This shot has wonderfule light, great lines and great tones. Clearly a landscape, the scape of the land has an abstract look. In my humble opinion, Ansel was more of a realist than an impressionist in his photography, abundantly depicting scenes of classic American mid-western scenes. Truly a wonderful photo! Would this be an example of Ansel had he shot this scene? I don't know.
