Description
Patterns and pathways...Nature can look so intricate, intense and gigantic, and at the same time so peaceful and quiet when you let yourself sink into it...
One more from one of the gorgeous beaches in Ericeira - Portugal. We may not have some natural beauties that other countries do, but it's hard to beat our coastline!
One more long exposure... it's such an intense pleasure to press the remote shutter release, and then wait for the light to reach the sensor, and finally check the final image... a work of patience, but it pays off with unique ways to see the light interacting with earth.

Very strong composition here JosΓ©, and the light on the moss is wonderful.

Glad you liked it... Unfortunately I didn't spot the dust spot (pardon the redundancy), I have to correct it as soon as I can. I've just adjusted my screen to the "standard" brightness rate - 120cd - and it looks darker than I was used to...

Very nice coastline, great composition with very vibrant moss, maybe ever so slightly over saturated, but that's just my personal opinion.
Just FYI, there are one, or two dust spots in the sky, might want to clone them out, especially if going ahead and printing this one.

Yes, thanks for pointing it to me. I calibrated my screen to 120cd brightness and I didn't see them.

Lovely stuff. Interesting to see that the water isn't darkened to match the skies brightness as much as I might have expected. I think that might help accent the green rocks....which I love
