Big Sur, CA
I found this on the way back from a backpacking trip up into the redwoods.
After Challenge: Thanks for the comments. I noticed a lot of them suggested that I take the shot of the waterfall from the beach. I would LOVE to, but unfortunately there are shear cliffs on all sides and no one is allowed on the beach for safety reasons. Yes, the water is that turquoise blue in the cove, and I can only figure that is because there are no rocks and only sand right there.

Great job! I love when a shot can just up and carry me away to that place, or make me wish I was there. I love the true colors of the tropical water. I loved how you captured the tones of the deep water, and the aqua of the reef-protected beach. I loved the whitecaps, the shades of the sand where it's wet, damp and dry. I especially like the tiny little 'hole' at the top of the photo that has a little pool of water that is reflecting the deep tones of the sky. I didn't care for the waterfall. I'm giving this shot an 8.
Hey, I was just in that area a couple says ago...Julia Pfeiffer Burns Park...we were camping in San Simeon State Park! Too bad you can't get down to the beach level. Ever see pics of Wm Randolph Hearst down there on horseback?
the waterfall seems alsmost incidental when I look at the picture. Perhaps a landscape crop from the waterfall to the right to the waterfall becaomes more of a key element in the image?
I have to say, this isn't a bad photo but as I look at it I just keep thinking - why didn't they get down there and get a nice shot of that waterfall hitting the beach?? 5.
