Challenge: Landmarks (Advanced Editing II)
Camera: Sony DSC-F717
Location: Cannon Beach, Oregon Coast
Date: Dec 2, 2004
Aperture: F6.3
ISO: 100
Shutter: 1/40sec
Galleries: Panoramic, Seascapes
Date Uploaded: Dec 5, 2004

 Yes, it's Zoomdak. Yes, yet another of my favorite subjects =).

I think it might fit the challenge. Rather borderline actaully. I really don't see any landmark in this entire image.

Purple was actually the color of the sunset, I had to tone it down a bit to get this.

Editing: B&C, color adjustment, dodging/burning, neat image, size, selective sharpening/blurring, border.

The colors are pretty, but the clarity doesn't measure up to your past efforts. Time to hire a new model, Thomas. ;-)

I thought this might have been the Oregon coast. I did the PCH drive last year and it was spectacular. I recommend it to anyone. Beautiful picture. The white waves really help, giving it a nice contrast.

Nice late light works well with the mistiness of the scene. Peaceful and elegant.

Nice atmospheric perspective and interplay of warm and cool tones.

An old familiar landmark here at DPC? :-)

Love the Oregon coast... perfect time to shoot... the warm cast from the sunset is great... well done!

Seems disorganised - I get no sense of the real subject of the shot - the Haystack? The haze? The light? Lacking clarity and I can't see that the noise helps anything - it's too orthodix a scene to be a dirty image.

good balance lighting needs to be more intense

Challenge link: strong.

Image critique: beautiful morning light is its main strength but the subject is lovely. This just lacks a bit of 'pop' for me. The central feature is awkward with its peak butting up to the ridge line, so I would have tried to avoid this by crouching very low. A lower POV may have added some extra dimension too rather than the more conventional eye-level.

Out-of-challenge appeal: yes, it's pretty but not magnetic enough to pull me back for long

For me the fog didn't help this image.

i don't think this is one of the better interpretations of haystack. you might want to look through zoomdak's work for some other treatments of this subject.

I knew this would appear again.
