Description

This is a puzzling sunrise image, taken of the coastline on one of my visits to Port Macquarie.
During resizing this image for BP in photoshop, I found what appeared to be a woman in a green dress standing among the rocks.
I had to enlarge the image 600% to see it is just seaweed and kelp that had been washed ashore at high tide, and had formed the illusion of a human.


Exif: F Number: 5.6, Exposure Bias Value: 0.00, ExposureTime: 1/40 seconds, Flash: did not fire., ISO: 200, White balance: Auto white balance, FocalLength: 26.00 mm, Model: NIKON D80

I think I see her, John. In the foreground in the middle, slightly lighter than the rest of the green seaweed, right? It took me a while to focus.
It's a beautiful and very dramatic scene. #11208490
