[Ligne directrice - Note] Note du photographe
Another capture from my trip to the Sonoma Coast last month. I felt like experimenting a bit with the original, so I converted to a rose-like sepia. Also increased the contrast to give more of a darker mood. It was very peaceful and at times a lonely trip. This image for me symbolizes that feeling.

Howdy Vincent James!
Original picture. Amazing seascape. Wonderful rock. Excellent bird. Fantastic work.

Hi Vincent,
Like the pink/sepia soft tone in this imae. Fine coposition too, the cormoran on the rock is stunning. Perfect composition.
Hans

Hello Vincent! Very original minimalistic composition. Very good POV and capture. Fantastic effect. Well done!

Hi Vincent

I'll be in North America on Wednesday. Good pp work, with attractive graphism & minimalist colors. The solitary bird atop the rock is a superb addition. Good sharpness & mood. Tfs!

You've done a great job here - it's not always easy to make a good photo out of such a dark solitary lump of rock. Nice job here though with the composition and the 1 second exposure to just blur the waves.
Good timing with the bird!!!!!
Cheers
DAvid

Très belle composition avec une ambiance bien colorée ! bien vu !
Nice w.e.

Hi Vincent,
Interesting treatment. You could have easely fooled me that this was the real light. I like the simplicity of the composition but also the perfect timing of it. The single bird on top of the rock adds a lot to the entire photo.

Hi Vincent.
Very dramatic sea and composition with a bird on the top of the rock.
It does have an impact.

Olá Vincent.

And i can feel that feeling you´re describing :)
Love the Mood of your photo, thanks for sharing!
Congrats Vincent, like very much the rose-like sepia.

Best regards.

This reminds me of like an old photo, from back in the 1800's where there is motion in some areas, and not in others! This is really nice very serene! I can't only imagine!

Mmmm...the delicate rose tones seem to be the soft side of solitude, while the jagged rock is the rough side. Water is often symbolic of emotions, here surrounding the rough rock. The bird is free to perch on the rock, fly through the sky, or fish in the waters. Rather profound image:)) You do well with your photographic instincts!

Hello Vincent
Magnificent photo with a perfect expression of the feelling in title: comes from deep inside, is rough, and sees nothing.
Excelent compo and excelent tones, between the b/w and (no)colour. Excelent mood.
Congrats my friend, is a great work.

The solitary rock being briefly visited , presents a mood of solitude , yet beauty, Vincent. Your composition on this one is great and wave motion enhances the softness. I like the de-saturation of some colours, leaving the rose hint. Very powerful feeling stays with me from this one.. ..
Warm regards

Hi Vincent
Really beauatiful scenery. You were lucky to capture him with the wings open exactly at the top. What I really like is the waves that properly sharpened, as you have, create a nice impression. And the duotone, of course, adds a lot to the composition

Ola Vincent,

Excellent composition. Sharp and fine details image.

I like this rose-like sepia, but I was curious to see a photo with the original colors.

Great shot!!!

Best Regards from Portugal,

Mário

Bonjour Vincent,
Une photo qui exprime bien ce sentiment de solitude. Belle ambiance servie par de jolies teintes et cet effet de l'écume.
Amicalement.

Pascalie.

Beautiful moment captured :)
Love the tones here! Perfectly composed, very moody.
Tfs,
