January 2008 Winner - Elements
Ive found A new Location This weekend....A really Prehistoric looking Bay about 30mins for where I live.
Lots of really cool rock formations and a haven for surfers it seems.
Quite a nice little trek down to this secluded spot.

Anyway I thought Id enter a seascape....I can believe I havent before

Lots of elements in this one but I spotted earth Fire & Water

Re: Earth Fire Water
You're an insensitive man, vulkan.
How do you expect other people to win when you're submitting photos like this.

Love the warm intimate feeling I get from the lighting on the beach. The other worldly feel and look are very good.
Feels like you could step into that photo.
Very relaxing/calm feel.
Well done.

Re: Earth Fire Water
OMG. WOW. I have looked at your flickr site. I am a complete newbie and as yet no not a great deal about photography but oh boy your shots including this entry is breathtaking,spectacular,pleasing to the eye, commercial..I could go on...I cant wait to tell my friends about your site,flawless work..
Cheeky I know but what would be your choice of DLSR for a newbie wanting to do mainly landscapes.

Re: Earth Fire Water
Stunning

But wouldn't expect anything less for you really.

Always look forward to your entries each month - and once again you have delivered.

Love the warm colours and great perspective. Would like to know what PP you have done to this?

P.S. I hate you for living so close to such a beautiful spot
