Few more shots I processed from the road trip along the California Coast. We almost didn't make it to this site but glad we made the effort.

Is the water too punchy? I increased the saturation of the blue and aqua tones but not too much. This is actually how the water looked.

C&C welcome!

Not sure which of these first three crops I like the best:

Scary walk over the bridge to the other side of the cove:

Opposite cove where the terrace is still left from the house that stood there until the 60's which was owned by Lathrop and Helen Hooper Brown. What a view!! :thumb

Requisite snapshot of my wife and I for her photo album. Still need to clone the jet trail and fix the shadow on my pants.

    I'd say you had a great trip to the Bay Area. You timed it right, we had
    some interesting weather.

    The Pacific Ocean off the Big Sur coast is such a beautiful blue, I think you
    captured and processed it accurately.

    Nice job.

    Beautiful shots, I think I like #3 the best but they are all great, I need to explore this place, it's not too far from where I live.
    Perception is a strange and wonderful thing.
