 Taken at Rialto Beach on the Washington coast.

Cropped slightly
Burned the clouds a bit.
Unsharp Mask
I can't remember, I think that's all I did.

My main concern is the lost of quality when I brought this down to 150k. I can't seem to get the knack to compressing images well. Or I just seem to take busy photos for competitions. I brought it down to 600 pixels max, and that helped.

Bring on the 4.5 score. ;P

Wonderful photo Jennifer! A little light on the driftwood would have made it super good, but sunlight can be hard to come by in the northwest.

Great image and angle though it could have been edited to be a bit more dramatic. Good luck!

Nice composition. Would have liked a bit more contrast on the driftwood.

Yeh! I love ocean treasures. This elephant cemetary of trees that border water and forest with the bereaving misty point of horizon can only mean one thing. Bomb fire tonight until Dawn. Pebbles add terrific texture to whole. Poor pixel sky prevented perfect score. Great 8

I know you say it's dusk, but still seems too dark, buy just a little.

For some reason, this picture looks more like it was taken at dawn. Anyway, I really like this shot and the angle at which it was taken. The lighting is nice. 10
