Ocean Perch

I caught this young lady seated on the edge of this rock in Laguna Beach, my first real seaside shot in a couple of months. I was intrigued by her positioning and the crashing waves. She wasn't quite as close to the water as it might appear here, but it made for a bit of drama nonetheless.

Superb shot. And the two complementary tones! Perfect

[Elizabeth]

Beautiful image! Glad you made it to the beach. It’s always my go-to place for restoring peace of mind.

[Tunia McClure]

All blues and tans -- beautiful.

[Joy's Focus]

Absolutely dramatic!

[Kerri Michaels]

beautiful fav

[summerfield]

one of your bests, so far, ron. aces!

[Joanne Diochon]

Dramatic for sure.

[Taffy]

It looks totally dramatic from our perspective as viewer. Like the wave could reach up and grab her into the sea.

[Pam Knowler]

Fabulous drama in this image as we imagine the next wave washing over her. I love it when the camera can give us an illusion like this! Glad you got to the beach!

[Peter]

Lovely perspective, tones and textures, great candid shot Ron, nice to hear you are getting out and about with your camera:)

[Lewis Robinson]

Fav. Awesome, love the tone to this photo.

[Denise Wood]

Looks like my ocean too :)

[Lou Ann]

Such a dramatic capture. The rock (it seems so much more than just a “rock”) is as beautiful in it’s way as the ocean is.

[Wylie]

The sort of thing Wylie 2 would do! lovely shot.

[Peter Dulis]

Love this one - and love Laguna Beach :)

I apologize for the group reply, but I'm somewhat short on time, so a huge thanks to all of you for the very kind words and the many favs. Took me a bit by surprise to be honest. Thank you!!

Love this shot- would love to be sitting where she is too- even if the water was closer! fav
