Title: Panther Beach, Santa Cruz, California
Post by: Francesco Carucci on November 05, 2013, 09:08:12 pm
I recently took a three images series at sunset at Panther Beach and created a story to connect one to the other in space, time, and emotions.

1. Falling

2. Torment

3. Calm

For each image I wrote a post to share the story attached to it and the thought process behind it.
Feedback is greatly appreciated. Thanks!

The essay is excellent, but image #2 is stunning showing beauty, power and motion. Well done!

My vote goes to image #2. It is powerful and I like the warm light. Image #1 leaves me a bit uncomfortable and it's not a bad thing. The slanted rock and the crack are probably causing that feeling. I need more time with it.
