Nice to see you back where you belong, sir. It's cool to see that in photos since I've seen it in real life too. Very awesome.

I've been here this time of year - this shot is more effective when the tree is not centered and your camera angle shows both the tree and the sea stacks without competing. Here is a similar shot that I have taken here:

My favourite b&w The misty background adds a dreamlike feel The 2 people walking out of the frame act as a bit of a distractor, otherwise an exceptional shot Very well done! "9"

Hey, I've seen this before. :) Nice capture. I like your choice of vertical composition. Is this you Zoomdak? Finally getting around to voting. 9

It seems as if "La Mer" could also be titled "el Pacifico" :) Would this tree make its appearance again in 06?

The rocks in the sea detract a bit from the beautiful shape of the tree, still a great shot.

Soft image, with a strong shaped tree in foreground.....slightly slanted.

Wonderful shot! I'm also glad you chose B&W as color would not have had the same effect. (8)

Feels like home,

I feel like I've seen this setting before recently in the free study challange. Fits this challenge very well.

Classic Oregon Coast photo! Great entry into this challenge. Indeed, we see one of the best known iconic shapes from entire the pacific coastline, Canada to Mexico, Haystack Rock. Excellent composition, with every quadrant in the rule of thirds offering the eye a different portion of the whole. The people in the lower right put the whole scene into perspective. 10!

I can see that it's the shape of the tree that's the subject here, and this is a very nice silhouette with a beautiful background. For some reason (distractions?) the tree doesn't pop out at me like I wish it would. This challenge aside, I think this shot without the tree -- with just the fence and the people and the sea -- would be truly amazing. As it is, the tree almost seems to be in the way.

Beautiful shape. Good use of black and white.

Great treatment; this is beautiful. I wish the tree wasn't blurry or oversharpened.

Excellent Pic. I like the stormy conditions and the two people braving the weather, good pic

Looks like Cannon Beach, OR on a very windy day. Not sure which shape you're highlighting - the tree in silhouette?
Post actions
Love the B&W, tree, and haziness of the background.

The feel of this photo is great. The people add. Offcenter and more area to the right would help for me. Good luck.

Simply Wonderful. Caught my eye right away. You people that live near dramatic coastlines are very lucky. Nice touch to have the people in the photo to add some scale. One of my favorites!
