It's actually further south, in Bandon... that's a bit south of Coos Bay, so figure around 230 miles from Cannon Beach :) There's a lot of pretty, rocky coastline in Oregon, though. |

| ill be perfectly honest with you, I scored a few more photos higher than this one in the AA challenge. But however..this was way above the average in tone depth and person and horse turn this into a magical image. |

| This has got to be one of the top pictures in this challenge. I really like the soft tones and smooth transitions. The subject is interesting and different than most of the other entries. I'm not sure if AA would have a horse and rider in a shot like this, but I still like it alot. The only suggestion I would make would be to crop out the rock and water from the bottom of the picture. I think it distracts slightly from the rest of this georgeous shot. Great job |

| Perfect, the shot is fantastic with the different contrast on the rocks as they get farther away, but the horse rider put it to another level. 10 |

| This shot could have been made by the master himself. It has a great tonal range. The only thing I might change would be to crop the bottom a little tighter to eliminate the dark rock abd the highlight at the bottom right. Excellent work! |

Having spent a little time reading up on Ansel and looking through his work I now appreciate the 'style' more than I did for my own entry! (so I screwed up a little!)
This entry however is very much along the right lines, excellent work. |

| Very rich, compositionally a bit pat. There's essentially nothing happening in the bottom half of the picture. The rendring of the rocks is exquiste, and you have dealt very well with the backlit sky. |
