Taken on 17-mile drive near Carmel Beach, CA. It's a beautiful drive with lots of photo opportunities. I didn't carry my tripod, so I have to rest my camera on the rocks.

the color and details in the sky are wonderful! i love the detail and texture in the foreground rock. are the specks on the water some birds? congrats on 10th place!
Oooooooo... This is soo surreal! It looks like it could be a 'Doomsday' image. Nice light on the rocks and the waves are awesome. Overall a very neat image, Well done!
This image is one of the most beautiful I've seen on DPC. I truly love the composition and colors in this image, plus how you expressed your tone and idea. 10/10
