Title: Cape Meares
Post by: Dave Pluimer on February 02, 2014, 11:23:38 am

This was my first trip to the Oregon coast. Early spring, overcast the entire day. A rain-soaked gale ripping right up off of the water.

Critiques encouraged.

I also find interesting how you dealt with the foreground.
Usually this kind of foreground is not my thing,
but your sparse use of it as a sort of lower image boundary works, I think.

A beautiful spot - I've stayed in Netarts where one can see the 3 capes.  Nice job with the fog and water running.  I would prefer not to have the heath in the foreground, but better that then you falling into the Pacific.

The fog is excellent.

Good mood in the photo. As it is, I find the foreground intrusive, perhaps it should have a bit more of it. or none at all.
