 "Morro Rock is a large geological formation called a morro located a few hundred feet off the shore of Morro Bay, California along the California coast. It stands 576 feet tall at the entrance to the Morro Bay Harbor and a causeway connects it with the shore. The area around the base of Morro Rock can be visited. Every few years, someone tries to climb the rock. They are often caught since they usually cannot get down without assistance. Climbers risk more than fines or jail time as the rocks that form Morro Rock are loose and fall down regularly. The base of Morro Rock is littered with fallen boulders." From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

This is our most famous landmark as viewed from a park about a mile from my house.

Don't know if it is just the impact of the rock on the composition but I feel the shot is going sideways :)

I like the way that the rock breaks up the symmetry.

One rule in graphic design is to keep your eyes moving in a triangular pattern. You have a great thin triangle of 1) Morro Rock, 2) the shadow from the rock, and 3) that little piece of wood or stump. AND the rule works beautifully in your piece.

It's amazing to see something so massive and rough against the sky and water. Nice effects in this image.

Like the way the rock stands out relative to everything else. Also like the subtle reflections. Nice to see a picture of this thing -- I haven't seen it in person since the time I lived in northern California.

Interesting place. Thanks for the story! I might play with increasing the contrast and saturation some for more drama, and cropping either some sky or some water to put the horizon more on the rule of thirds.
