Hi Wes,
I guess I don't have to mention that its a beautiful view as the couple there had already made that statement. The pine in front played a nice role of breaking the horizon making the composition more interesting. The atmosphere is very well captured. Great capture!! All the best.

Very beautiful and pleasant picture. The stark contrast between the colours on the foreground and the misty-blue background is nice, but the people on the bench, make it very special.

Bonjour Wes,
Ce superbe panorama méritait bien un endroit aussi agréable.
Quelle joie pour les spectateurs de posséder un lieu aussi proprice à la détente et à la vision d'une vue sans pareille.
Le cadrage est excellent. J'aime beaucoup ce conifère placé sur un point fort de la composition.
Very well done.
Philippe

Hi Wes

An attractive coastal park with a fine view of the ocean. Good sharpness & color. PS: In Australia, these shelter sheds also have picnic tables, & bbq's. Well done!

Great place.I like the composition and point of view.Very good colors,light,textures and sharpness.I like the detail of the persons.Well done!

premels (2400) 2005-06-26 6:24

Hi Wes, funny how these two miss a leg each. The view looks great. However it was a nice idea to step backward and include the view-point in the view. The fog blurring the horizon helps us focusing on the foreground scenery.

nwoehnl (120) 2005-06-26 6:47

I remember this place, nice to return there one more time, Wes. The most appealing part about your composition is certainly the placement of the couple on the bench, as they are enjoying the ocean view and sort of drawing the viewer into the scene to join them in doing so. Delightful shot.

jbweasle (9294) 2005-06-26 7:25

Wes, a lovely place to sit and view the ocean. Of course what really makes this shot is the couple on the bench and the outstretched arm leading our gaze in the same direction.

Kenny10pin (19301) 2005-06-26 12:28

very nice picture, they didnt know what even took them.... it was you. well done, I like the composition and the surrounding environment, well taken

Emile (19995) 2005-06-26 12:54

Very beautiful place, a touching picture with the couple sitting watching the view.
Good colors and a nice mist over the ocean.
Very good composition.
Well done Wes

Jeppe (18623) 2005-06-26 14:08

Hi Wes

I missed the three former photos - surely a fine place for a chapel - I like this fine compostion very much - the young couple give us a feeling of sitting there ourself - the mix of horizon and close objects great to watch - thanks.

Steft (5962) 2005-06-26 14:26

Very nice couple here... it gives the photo another look. Not only you and were are enjoying the view - also some people on the photo do the same.

Very beautiful and wide view here. I like the way sky and water become one. But is the horizon (by the sea) not falling a bit to the right?

Well done!

Stepan (27175) 2005-06-26 16:11

I like the 70's touch of your compo, especially beacause of the shirt of the guy !
A strange place (behind the flowers, the tree and the open shed) to see the ocean !?

Hi Wes,
I like the two people in this shot! It's understandable they chose to sit there, the view is very nice indeed. I like the almost same colour of the sky and the ocean, very well done! :-D
Groetjes,
Lars

maphoto (8076) 2005-06-26 21:22

Great point of view Wes and nice addition to have the these two people on the bench admiring like you did this ocean view. I would like to see it with a beautiful blue sky, nice contribution with the other photos, well done.

singuanti (15240) 2005-06-26 21:57

Hi Wes. I added this to everybody's favorite theme, 'Benches'! :) I really like that pine tree and the view. The composition is very pleasing to the eye. But you shot this at 18mm and you're listing the 28-85 lens. Oops! ;) Good shot Wes!

sarju (5308) 2005-06-26 22:46

Hi Wes ... Nice view of the ocean from the chapel
I would have liked to just sit there and relaxed for sometime too ... thanks for sharing
cheers

Hello, Wes! Very nice, little foggy atmosphere. Clear and vivid colors make your job very attractive. I like the couple contemplating the sea. Well done!

Greg

alford (3897) 2005-06-27 4:36

Hi Wes! A very peaceful and romantic place! I just wish the sky is clear and blue! Good POV in showing us the land/seascape. The greens are just wonderful to look at! rgds.

jrj (34779) 2005-06-27 8:18

Well made compo Wes, fine details and a good thing to include the bench with the visitors. Nice looking place presented in a fine light and colour setting.

jinju (14265) 2005-06-27 19:27

Good combination of a touching moment and a great lanscape photo. I knew this was Califirnia without even checking.

MoosicMan (1231) 2005-06-27 19:40

It's a beautiful shot of a lovely place, Wes. Wonderful sharpness and composition.
Thanks,
Matt

john_c (24635) 2005-06-27 23:17

A colorful, clear daily life scene, Wes. The couple are well captured in relaxed mode at a quiet and peaceful spot which is obviously very scenic. There are many lines of interest for the eye here to follow. The unique tree is very enhancing and the structure is seen in fine detail. A well composed shot with good balance and atmosphere. Well done.

Mafo (1339) 2005-06-28 4:15

Nice pair Wes!
Beautiful quiet scene, nice composition, colors and good sharpnes!
