Rocky Pathways

[Octane]

Boulders and a rock shelf protrude out from under streaking waves as they crash and recede in front of me.

Captured moments after sunset at a gorgeous location north of Sydney.

Gee mate, your B&W's are really working for me! Good stuff H.

This is just stunning, H. Wonderful contrast between the rocks and the soft misty water and those "god rays" streaming through the clouds is just perfect! Really love this.

:) Fantastic work again H

Beautiful shot. I'm on an uncalibrated monitor at the moment, but reckon the colour could do with a little more saturation :P

Another beauty H.

Very nicely done, I'm enjoying your B&W work.

Cheers

Barry,

Cheers. Something a little different to the saturated colourful ones.



Shelly,

Thanks, missy. Those God rays are actually waves that have splashed on the rocky formations a little further distant out. : )



Stuart,

Thanks!

nice one :thumbsup:

Love it! The composition really works with the hole in the sky ahead, the directions of the wave like a fan and the light. Almost gives an impression of curvature. You've also got enough variety in the foreground rock texture to make the shot even more interesting. All come together to form a master piece. Very nice. :thumbsup:

[Octane]

Marc,

You got it all -- you found the curve in the rock path leading to the hole in the sky! Excellent. : D : D : D

I'm chuffed, now. : D
