Malibu Ethereal Glow

Malibu Ethereal Glow - Mat.jpgSouthern California is fortunate to have so many wonderful beaches, in some places mile after mile of sand.  And if you know the right spots you can have a beach almost to yourself.  I have a friend that has a house in Hawaii.  The shore near his house is covered with rocks.  He says it is sand it’s just that the grains are the size of grape fruit.

This photograph has a nice combination of elements; the flowers, the rocks, the sand and of course the water.  There is nothing dramatic going on it’s just meant to be a peaceful, present scene.  The soft focus gives it an additional feeling of tranquility.  

There is only one suggestion I would make to the photographer.  Along the right edge in the corner there are three fingers of rock entering the frame.  This could be cloned out if the photo-artist wished.  There is not quite enough information about them to add to the composition.

    This tranquil scene was shot over Malibu, with a touch of spring wild flowers.

  2. Eliminating the rocks on the right is a good choice. It is a very peaceful photos.
