Paul: One of my favorite places on the coast. I do like your SS choice that gives the water some smooth movement but still picks up a small surf splash. Well conceived, captured and presented. >=))>

Nice treatment of this scene in BW Paul. It shows the nice smooth water of the incoming tide with the power of the waves against the rocks. No way I could straddle those slippery rocks these days. . . .

Thank you. A special place indeed. I was just traveling the coast with my wife and happened to stay there for a day/night. Blind luck.

Appreciate your input. I was much younger then with better balance. Plus with film, I didn’t know what I captured until I got back home in Massachusetts.
