Thor's Well (added crop of just the Well)

I am going to disagree with all the croppers as I really love the b & w and the color with the wider view. I think they give more scale to the well & keep you looking at the picture longer. I kind of skim over the well on the crop, as that is all there is (not that it isn't beautiful) and the others I can look at the ocean to the horizon and then peruse the mountain.

Dave,
I love your capture of Thor's well. I would like to got up their and shoot that sometime. It is on my bucket list. Number 3 is my favorite.

Last month I had an opportunity to spend a few days on the Oregon coast. Though I had been there before I decided to go some places I hadn't seen previously. The first of those was Thor's Well near Cape Perpetua. The classic view of this are with a colorful sunset in the background. Well, the moderately high tide needed to fill the well didn't happen at sunset, and it was a socked-in rainy day anyway. I was just going to spend a couple hours and then move on, but I ended up spending most of the day exploring the intertidal rocks between Thor's well and Cape Perpetua. Not sure what will come out of all that, but anyway here is the first, of the Well itself. Any preference for color vs. B&W?



Edit: Several people were uninspired by the sky and hill in the background, and asked if I had a closer shot of just the Well. The hill is Cape Perpetua, and I had thought that the curve of it formed kind of a ying-yang with a complementary curve of the Well, but maybe that was too obscure! At any rate, I didn't take closer shot, but I can certainly crop for just the Well. I do rather like this. Thanks for the suggestions!


Comments and suggestions are always welcome!

I like them all, but number 1 works best for me. It tells more of the story. Maybe a touch more contrast in the sky? Beautiful.
