Surreal Malibu, a photo from California, West

Photographer's Note

Same location as my last post on the California coast north of Malibu. Tide was coming in pretty quickly and was able rolling so nicely off this little patch of sand. The curve of the beach and rocks gave this image a very surreal look, almost like you can see the curvature of the Earth within this one image.

Processed in Adobe Lightroom, enhanced dynamic range, exposure and sharpening.

Hi Brad
Great picture. I love the long exposure rendering the water so smooth. Framing is excellent as well and the warm colors add to the appeal of this photo.

Hi Brad
another stunning shot from this magical place. Just as effective and beautiful as yesterday's posting. Love the effect of the longish exposure on the waters and the glorious effect of the light. Stunning again!
Ironically YES are playing on my PC as I write this so it makes this image even more magical. Superb work my friend.

Regards - Brian.

Hello Brad,

Again a very nice picture, I love the long exposure rendering the water so smooth through it use of lightroom.
Splendid rock formation to rightside.
Composition and presentation are very well.
Thanks for sharing.
