A little purple for my taste (even though it's natural) but still a brautifully taken and finished shot. Well done on a top ten finish.

Very nice finished image, I like the look of the tree in the midst of the view it makes me want to visit there.

Gosh, Bryan, this shot was practically perfect in every way. I was one of your 10s, Congrats on your Top 10 finish, I think you should have finished higher! Darn that Mother Nature for making things so awesome, they're not to be believed! Now one of my favs, after viewing it again.Message edited by author 2007-04-25 12:01:35.

Very nice sharpness and colours. The sky is nice, and the waves crashing in the fireground are perfectly captured.

The magenta color is too much and is showing on the sea.

Too much pink and violet hue distracts me from an otherwise greatly composed photo.

Great composition. I would have given this a higher score but the pink and violet hues appear overdone. It took away the 'natural' look of the image.
Post actions
hmmm. Could the tree have been un-pinked?

Excellent light, good depth of field and exposure. Very pleasing image but frankly I can't help wishing for more. In a perfect, ideal world the tip of the outcrop wouldn't be clipped at the right-hand side of the frame and the top of the cypress would be below the line where the sea and the distant land meets (I've heard of some very determined landscape photographers who carry a ladder wherever they go in case they need a higher point of view. I should try that some time too). At first, I was somewhat bothered by the treetops sticking into the frame from the bottom but now I don't really mind them. In short, the image is getting quite close to perfection but needs just a few more steps to reach it.

Familiar scene to Californians. It just doesn't stand out here

I like this, portrait orientation works well on this subject.

This is fantastic. I love the purple/green complimentary hues, the detail in the rock, and the mystic looking slow-shutter water. This is my favorite in the bunch. 10+fav

Wow, I would like to get to the place, this is shot at. Really a nice shot. Well done. I like the dreamy red theme, maybe a bit over the edge at the top. Nice work.(8)

Excellent image - love the softness of the water and the crispness of the tree and rocks.

I've seen dozens, if not hundreds, of photos of this tree, but this may be the best one I've ever seen. This is absolutely gorgeous.
