Did you notice that the right side of the island looks like the silouette of a man's face looking upward?
The rock actually has a name, "Face Rock", so ya I did. It's off the coast in Bandon, Oregon. I was wondering how many people would catch that. Good catch!
This is wonderful. I like the complexity of textures and shades of gray and how they interact with the whites and blacks. A killer sky, a simple and efficient landscape. Well done.
