Challenge: Vanishing Point III (Advanced Editing VII)
Camera: Nikon D700
Lens: Nikon AF-S Nikkor 16-35 f/4 ED VR
Location: Arniston, South Africa
Date: Aug 10, 2014
Aperture: f/11
ISO: 100
Shutter: 320
Date Uploaded: Aug 10, 2014

 All processing done in Photoshop.

Long exposure taken with Lee big stopper and Singh Ray reverse ND grad.

Had a bit of flare, so used and blended in parts of a shot taken just before this one to recover some detail on the rocks.

From there cloned out some remaining flare and dust spots, dodge/burn, contrast and vibrance added. Then sharpen/resize for web

Nice Philip. I came to comment here and say "welcome back, and back with a bang" but I see that Rian beat me to it. Lovely shot.
Congrats on the ribbon!

Beautiful picture with the parallel crepuscular rays seeming to vanish towards the horizon. The blurred water gives the image a wonderful ethereal feeling.

Gave this an 8 (earlier) I love how the leading lines are in the sky instead of the land... but they curve around to it, too. In fact... I'm going to bump it up a notch for your brilliance. :D 9
