Post Challenge~ Thanks all! It's cool to get my first ribbon along with a message that my membership is set to expire shortly! (I'll be renewing) Now to dig up my original file!
Shot this on a quick family vacation to the coast and had to process quickly with PS Elements(thankfully it is very similar to PS)on a borrowed computer to meet the 9:00 deadline. Oops, missed some dust spots! The tide was -1.1ft near sunset so the timing was perfect to catch the exposed grass/rocks. Held a too small cokin GradND filter with my fingers to even out the exposure.
It's a beautiful coastline and even if the Pebble Beach Company 'owns' the tree and charges cars $9 to travel on their road, it's worth the trip.
My favorite comment ever. "This is ribbony, but what is it really saying, anyway? Do my grandchildren need to see this?" Thanks, posthumous.
I grew up in Carmel. When I was young, this tree had alot more branches...lol. Stunning photo and I'm marking it a fav!!! Brings back so many memories for me!!!
And I think it would be safe to tell Posthumous that "YES. Your grandchildren DO need to see this!!!!!" They need to learn early to appreciate the beauty of nature and "getting away" to the quiet places, away from the cell phones, fax machines, and computer games! This the kind of photo that takes you there!
AWESOME! So so deserving of a ribbon! I'm just surprised that its just your first one! You have very impressive work! :)
Lovely. I've come back to this several times. Really a beautiful image. The one craggy tree up on the cliff adds to it. Love the lavender of the water with the warm tones of the rocks. Add that to the touches of green and the whole image really gives the viewer a wonderful sense of color.
this is the lone cypress right ? I didnt' know there's a way to get that close to the beach at this point
and yes its a lovely shot. I like the green at the bottom with warm colors on the top
Ebb and Flow
