Finally decided to bring out my camera from hibernation and go out to take some photos. Captured this yesterday at La Jolla Cove in San Diego, CA.

Please post any constructive criticism. Enjoy!

That's a pretty cool usage of a fisheye there! It looks like...well, an aquatic planet :D

I don't usually like the fisheye effect - but that picture is VERY nice - I like it a lot!

Fisheye does work pretty cool here...i was here the other day and with the tide low you really get to see a lot of normally covered stuff. Nice job!

Good job on using the fisheye in this instance. After a while, most every sunset shot starts to look the same, with very little separating one from the next...the fisheye makes this stand out from the pack.

Man...does that picture bring back memories of countless sunsets I used to catch while sitting out on my "thinking rock" at La Jolla Cove back in the mid-80's.

Thank you for sharing!

My God, the world isn't flat!!!! Nice capture. KUDOS.


Have plenty of Canons, enough ammo, enough to blow 'em to "L". Now, I just have to learn to aim.

I really like the use of a fisheye, but for me the composition just doesn't grab me. Maybe it is too centered, the sun right in the middle?

With the scale exaggeration the foreground looks like continents seen from space. Nice.
