Beautiful color, light and detail, Dale! #10975203Dale Hardin February 14, 2014
Thanks, Robert. The next morning, during a slight rain, you would have enjoyed the surfing near Morro Rock. A bit different than what you normally film, but very picturesque. #10975457Jeff E Jensen February 14, 2014
Excellent, Dale! #10975700Joy Rector February 15, 2014

As Teresa says, it is the simplicity of the subject and colors that really do make this such a super image Dale. #10977407Dale Hardin February 16, 2014

Gorgeous Dale! I love the slight mist in the distance and the beautiful blues, but most of all the serenity of this one! #10977574Dale Hardin February 16, 2014
Thank you Beth. The fog had just lifted and the morning light of the sun was not yet visible from when I took this. #10977595Joy Rector February 17, 2014

Beautifully captured, Dale. Love the composition. #10978826Dale Hardin February 18, 2014
Thanks so much, Susan. You'd love this place. #10978892Elaine Hessler February 18, 2014
Beautiful! A quick technical question-I know you would never have a horizon sloping to one side, but it looks like it is going down to the right. What optical illusion am I seeing?Love everything about this-how did you get it so blue? Was it like that when you took the picture? #10979037
Dale Hardin February 18, 2014
Thank you,Elaine,and good questions. The reflections will show you it is straight but there is a sand bar behind it and to the right that runs at an angle from upper left to lower right, giving an illusion of a horizon.As far as the deep blue, that was artistic license created by multiply blend and a warming filter applied to the boat.
Here is a the original straight out of camera. I think its a good shot in it's own right, but wanted something more dramatic. #10979095
