About This is a natural archway that thru time the sea has worn down by powerful waves ...It is amazing to view with your own eyes so I hope that I have done it justice- It was hard for me going from dark to light in a foggy mist and sometimes spray - Any and ALL helpful comments are welcomed so much -

Yes YOU are right dear Ivona - to be at this place can not be captured - It is so very beautiful - I try to capture it but the light and the spray of water , fog - you know - the salty air - some things you must just feel as well -

Thank you so much for your wonderful comment my friend !

I have to disagree with some of the comments here! I feel the shot is perfect as it is, it totally captures the feeling of the sea spray that must have been all around you.
To add contrast and change levels will most certainly destroy the natural look of this, and will take away the impact of the superb perspective.

Dear Michele,
I just discovered this fantastic view and I love it.
Great that in despite of strong back light so much can be seen from inside rocks and outside seascape. Great experience and perfect composition,
hugs and kisses from Paul

Enjoy your day my dear friend. I am off to go "chase" fall foliage soon.
Big hug and kiss,

The lighting conditions are pretty difficult here and you managed really well my dear friend. Great details as well. I love the orange area on the right side of the archway.
Just beautiful!!!!!

Wow most impressive Michele!! I really dig what you did here and got into the perfect position to great a great shot! Fantastic job of chasing and catching the light that makes this image! I can just imagine you at work here!
Fantastic in every regard. I loved this one so much I just had to see how much it could be worked and brought out to its fullest. Did not have to do a whole lot. Adjusting levels selective saturation and D&B......WOW
Great work Girl!
Keep shooting Like this and you will work with any magazine you choose....:) Are you still editing with the same programs pretty much?

Hello my dearest sweet Srna - I appreciate your helpful comment and it seems to be the general feeling about more contrast - sooooo I should try it .. in fact I will add the image with more contrast altho then my feeling is it would need less brightness and then it would not be what I saw - regardless I do truely appreciate your very kind critiue but hopefully a better image :))
Kisses and love to you and I did rest this entire week-end :)) Thank You for your caring :)

more contrast with less brightness - better ?


Srna Stankovic Srna Stankovic   {K:172232} 10/13/2008
Oh my Angel, wish I were there, what magnificent place !!! :-)
And these shots are hard to take, you did it !!! :-)))
You just could add some contrast to emphasize these magical light from the Sun and stones ... but so so so wonderful image !!! :-)
Love it !!!
So much !!!
Kisses and love ... hope you rested a bit :-)
Srna

Great shot in dificult position. Happy you wernt washed away. Only thing i could suggest is maybe a bit more contrast that would bring out the sun rays even more. I believe though that if thats what you saw, then its perfect. Big hugs. Keith:) :)
