I haven't had much time for photography lately and I have only been able to visit TME occasionally.

Here are two images for comment and critique from my last time out at the end of May.


The first image is Cedar Creek at Ruby Beach.



The second image is Second Beach Near Forks Washington.



Both images were captured 20-30 minutes after sunset.

Regards,

Phil

Two beautiful and totally different in feeling end-of-civil twilight images. I can't decide which one I like best. Perhaps these could become a diptych?

Flo, thanks for the comment. I am thinking about lightening the first image and trying to warm it just a bit, but not quite certain how to get there with out compromising clarity and contrast.

Both stunning. the color is gorgeous. I might try cropping the first one in from the left just a little but - my eye gets trapped in the right edge, whereas the tower-like formation at the left leads me back into the main scene

Saul, thanks for the comment and suggestions. I will post a copy of the cropped version as soon as I figure out why I can't up load to smugmug.

Hi Phil,
Both are beautiful. I like the colours in both. I especially like the silhouetting of the rocks and the trees.

I find I'm drawn more to the first picture. It has those wonderful reflective streams leading up and out toward the sea, along with the sunset colors. Not that I'd throw the second one away.... Wink

Thanks for all of your comments and suggestions. Here is a cropped version of the first image per Sauls' suggestion.

These are lovely, you look at them and can't help but want to just walk into the image.
As for the crop, either way works for me.
