Critique Welcomed Huntington Beach Under an Ominous Sky

[Brian Moore]

I shot this image from the pier. The view is toward the south. I shot this some years ago and just looked at it again for the first time in a long time. What immediately appealed to me this time was the out of focus. It seems impressionistic to me.

Canon P with Tri-X processed in Rodinal.

I love way you have framed this. It gives the sky full room to express its power and scale, while the viewer is reminded that the ocean is equally capable of displaying the same things, should it choose to.

Thanks a lot Chris. I like big skies. (Sometimes too much.)

That is staggeringly wonderful, Brian and should definitely be up and on the wall! Love those specks of humanity in the roiling atmospherics of the scene.

A great example of how an in-focus sharp lens is not a requirement for excellent photography!
