You’re a master of your craft.
Stunning photo! I adore ruins and love to be surprised by a place I’ve never seen.
Awesome pic!!!!!! love it..
Excelente fotografía!
Me produce una sensación de prepararme para acampar y pasar la noche en el mar. Transmite.
Felicidades!
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.
Its an awesome shot indeed.. I love the shadow and the beautiful sky with the clouds!!
What a beautiful shot – love the colour of the sky and the clouds!
I love the beach! Great shot!
Thanks guys!
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.
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!
What a dramatic picture! Beautiful photography!
Love the balance and the serenity in this shot. It conveys a sense of timelessness.
An excellent photo. The use of deep forground shadow against the receding ( or increceasing ) daylight works well.
nice work dude!
