Nice composition. The lonely tree, well at the left side of this grim landscape, gives us all the mood of the moment. Well done ...

Great shot, the perfect moment, I just would tried to correct a litlle the blueish mood and crop a litle on the left just to cut off the branches off another tree on the left side

Great dramatic feel to this shot. Love the shades of blue in the sea and the sky. Well done.

Super color, a time that I like and I puts it in the theme "stormy weather", framing is very good like the composition.

ambiance un peu angoissante, due à la luminosité et a la couleur, j'aime beaucoup

Very attractive shot Michel!
It looks like another planet... Very moody, pleasing the eyes, but maybe I would have tryed to crop or remove the left tree though?

Wonderful picture of the famous cypress. I know this place very well, it's one of my favourit places to visit in California. You captured the soul of the place very well. It's an amazing picture. Congratulations.

You got it in a very special environment, making a rather dull picture a breathtaking one, I like the colors and the mood this lighting creates. Very nice

Jolie composition, et belle lumière sur l'océan. Une image simple mais très appaisante

Very haunting. Beautiful colours. Nice catch. A special place.

I really like the choice of colors, i wonder if you made the dark areas even darker if it would look more ominous.

Wonderful capture, Michel! I´ve seen the LC in 1993! It´s a pity I was not a photo addicted, so I miss a nice capture. It makes your picture nicest to see, for me. Well done framing and beautiful monochromatic.
