Congrats on the FS top10.
I don't think this is the lone cypress on 17 mile drive - that one's still living, with leaves and all. Not that it matters, it's still a beautiful shot :)
Stunning image, superb clarity, colours, gradation and detail. This is no doubt doing well as DPC eye-candy seascapes do. Front page. The earth curvature is in part due the lens and I guess the norm is flat horizontal? 8
Woah! Beautiful color gradient in the sky, and wonderful silhouette of the Cypress. The subtle red palette on the ground moss, and extended exposure smoothening of the waves.... Wow!
The border is ridiculous though - it's almost on the verge of reducing the picture's awesomeness - I sincerely wish you didn't use a border or used one less bold/obtrusive.
I am totaly in AWE of this shot!! My Only critique is I would have liked to see a little more in the rocks and fore-ground, selected and up the exposure, doged a tish?? Well I'm really not qualified to give a critique on this type of art, Just my humble opinion.. Still getting an 8 from me
