[Note Guidelines] Photographer's Note
Taken at Valugan Beach, Batanes at dawn. This was one of the most difficult shoots for me, as I got wet all over due to the strong waves and water spray. I'm glad I was able to come out with a few good shots. The rocks in this beach are from a volcano (Mt. Iraya, the base of the volcano is at the upper left).

Hi Alford!

A really great shot at danw light. A very mystic place you show us here. Really well done!!

Hi Alford,
The long exposure really works here with a shinny effect on the stones. Too bad the sky is not that appealing, but still a very good shot.

The effect of the water on the rocks with the long exposure is mystical. I really like the blue colors as well. Well worth your trouble dealing with the salt water.

Hi Alford,

This is wonderful photography!!!
Incredible work. The mist of the water spray is intense with the light softly reflecting from all sides of these rocks. Really wonderful. Congratulations with this one!!

Greetings,

Hi Alford

This is an outstanding composition. The sharpness of the stones offers a great contrast with the blurry sea.

Well done !

Hi Alford:

It's a masterpiece. The water is like a cloud. The stone is like a chocolate. I love it.
