nice work dude!
An excellent photo. The use of deep forground shadow against the receding ( or increceasing ) daylight works well.
Love the balance and the serenity in this shot. It conveys a sense of timelessness.
What a dramatic picture! Beautiful photography!
I like your way of capturing the sun light – part hidden yet part visible, like the history if the pier, partly seen yet you still have to look through it to tell it all! Great job Cam!
Amazing shot. You’ve really managed to capture a moment as it seemingly slips away. I love the contrast in light and in textures, and the symmetry of the shapes and of the colours. Beautiful.
Thanks guys!
I love the beach! Great shot!
What a beautiful shot – love the colour of the sky and the clouds!
Its an awesome shot indeed.. I love the shadow and the beautiful sky with the clouds!!
I just love the soft dynamic of this shot. The lines of the pier lead you to the serenity of the landscape. A peaceful yet lively picture.
Excelente fotografía!
Me produce una sensación de prepararme para acampar y pasar la noche en el mar. Transmite.
Felicidades!
