Caution: 13

Sunday Morning at Huntington Beach just after daybreak. No one on the strand and I just had a great time with the loneliness, the emptiness and the starkness.

Brings to mind Ray Bradbury (The Martian Chronicles) or perhaps Arthur Clarke's "The Sentinel".

There is a lot of possibility to post process this into other-worldly colors to make it into a non-terrestrial landscape. Then again, you can keep it the way it is and let the viewers' imaginations take over.

The colors as it stand, albeit with a tad more deeper blue for the sky, remind me of recurring background in some of Dali's paintings.

In short, it's deliciously surreal.

It evoked similar emotions in me to Mu Eugene's, as my initial thought was something out of Star Wars, and I then thought of the beach in "Jaws" after news of the shark had been released. It's quite captivating, very nice!

I do get a little jittery about a central horizon though. I know it's a matter of taste but I do think rule of thirds makes for more engaging images.

Nice shot, but I would have liked to see a little more of the ocean (or it is LI Sound I think near Huntington ). Now it is just a very little strip of blue - jut a bit more water and bit less sky.

Or... Leave out the see altogether and then you get that "Martian" landscape the others are seeing.
