Eugene is right and I can feel the evening chill begin to take hold. Lots of light in this end of day shoreline image. Very pretty.

A wonderful blue evening to enhance the moon. The bay seems an excellent location to watch the moon rise. Nice solitary mood evades.

Tom, is it a blue moon over Plymouth Bay or a moon over blue Plymouth bay? lol. Anyhow a wonderful and very moody image!

Regards, Cornelius.

Tom - The tide is out and the Mayflower is in. The water is down and the moon is up. The unique smells of the low tide coast line always seems to be stronger at dusk - perhaps olfactory sense taking over for limited use of sight. But, this calming and peaceful view offers much to see. Thad

Hi, Tom....

I commented on this shot last night. I've been having problems with getting near the end of a critique and hitting a button that takes me to the Caedes Home Page. Lately there have been a few power outages. So I've started writing my comments in Microsoft Word and saving them every 30 seconds and then posting them here. I have very few brain cells after living through the late 60's and early 70's, but I'll try to remember what I said.

I was possibly the first kayaker to paddle around the backwaters of Morro Bay and Estero Bay 35 years ago; so I know that low tide doesn't always smell like just kelp. While I have nostalgic feelings about the smell of low tide, I wouldn't want a restaurant to smell like that.

This is a very peaceful and calming shot. Technically sound with nice colors, no noise and good focus. Two things though: I just read an article in one of my online photography magazines that said that a good landscape has the horizon lines at the top or bottom 1/3rd mark. Personally the skies around here have been cloudless until very recently; so my horizon lines are usually in the upper third. Yours splits the middle. The author of the article would soil his drawers apparently if he saw this posting. Secondly I've always been told the centering the subject is the last best alternative. The reason I've always been told this is because 90% of the time I would have stuck the moon dead center just like you did. You have some very nice Caedes friends, because mine would beat me within an inch of my life for having the moon centered.

Other than those two minor issues, I really like this shot. With a little seasoning you'll be offsetting the subject and moving the horizon line.

I like the low light and the moon beginning to show itself! I love all the boats on the water. The sky is amazing too. Well done, Tom.

I kind of like the way the bird on the left of the moon is positioned. Good shot Tom.
