my first post here and i thought this would be a good place to jump in :))) the weekly challenge topic reminded me of this.
i took this intentionally in portrait to enhance the layered look. i used my 100-400 on a tripod just above the beach, iso 400, 1/320, f/16.

Welcome to NPN Marian. This is a fantastic community of photographers. Your image definitely is a good one for layer challenge. I like how you’ve captured not only the beach with pebbles but also many layers of waves. Good job. I hope we will be seeing many more of your photo here at NPN.

Marian: Welcome to NPN and thanks for a fine first post. Shooting extracts of a scene with my long lenses is one of my favorite pursuits. Nicely seen, composed and captured. Great to have you aboard and looking forward to more. >=))>
PS: Thanks for jumping in and commenting on other’s images. That helps the community grow and stay healthy.

Marian, welcome to NPN! I really like the layers here, starting with the rocks at the bottom and moving to the multiple waves. This is a fine “out take” from a much larger scene that tells a good story. The glow through the top wave is a nice extra.

Hi Marian and let me add my welcome also. I’ve only been a member for a couple of years but have gotten so much out of visiting the site. I learn by reading the critiques of my own submissions and also by analyzing other’s work and reading the comments, so I consider it a win-win all around.
That is a very pleasing shot along the shoreline and shows off the incoming layers nicely. I like your inclusion of the beach and pebbles in silhouette; I think foreground is so important in landscape shots. I wasn’t sure if your title was appropriate until I noticed the golden wave coming in from the top. Thanks for sharing!
