Waiting For Sunset

Taken this evening on the cliffs above North Ponto Beach - Carlsbad CA

Oh, I like this a lot. I can imagine being there myself. Beautiful tired feeling, the day coming to an end, and a beautiful sunset coming on. Lovely colours.

 

[Lesley Jones]

I like it a lot too. The tones are beautiful and the light is incredible. I wish I was there

 

[Dave Green]

Nice shot that

 

[Brian Moore]

Very nice indeed, Chris. For some reason that guy standing, with his heed just popping up above the horizon, gives it an HDRish look I think.

 

[Chris Dodkin]

Thanks everyone

Rob - it's a big thing here on the west coast, to unwind watching the sun fall into the Pacific - often with an adult beverage in hand

Lesley - I was thinking that the light was getting rather lovely as I walked back along the cliffs, and I was hoping for a subject to hove into view before the sun set. Sure enough, luck provided this group of spectators, and I managed to grab two shots before the guy turned around and noticed me

Brian - I think it's the almost horizontal side lighting on the subject, and the very narrow DOF which makes him stand out from the ocean & clouds in the background.

Yes, I think that's it, Chris. Nicely done.

 

[Darren Bradley]

It does have an almost 3D appearance.

Amazing chris! Does have that dream like effect to it.

What can I add? Superb Chris, from tones to composition.
