Tide pool

[Ben Egbert]

This is at the early morning low tide. The marine layer was heavy on the horizon and some fig at my back. The sun was making a dot of glow on the marine layer edge as I shot this. I used a polarize to enhance the clarity of the pool.

All comments and critique welcome.

Peaceful scene - I like the look of the Yachats basalts in this context with almost soft looking contours. Nice glow to the marine layer as well.

The one time I wandered around on that shelf was with much higher tide levels and wave action. Not as peaceful as this scene at all.

You would never know the rocks were basaltic with all of the barnacles and other marine creatures on them. It looks more like granite. Nice peaceful scene, Ben.

Basal portions of the shelf were submarine deposits which may account for the shapes:

Thanks for the info guys, I have wondered these rocks for years, and always wondered about their origins.

Very nice Ben, I like the composition, that is perfect. Add in that ball of sun glowing in the background this is very pleasing.

Hi Ben, Very Nicely Done, I really like the Sky and it's Pastel Colors it gives the Rocks a nice
glow.

Take Care,
