This photo was taken during a day trip to the Big Sur area (4,5 hours from LA). The beach, permanently closed to camping and swimming, provides a secluded setting, perfect for art nude photography. The location's solitude ensures that visitors are rare, except near sunset. The image features a model standing atop a striking skull-shaped rock formation—after a careful climb to reach it. Captured with my Sony a7R IV and Sigma 50mm f/1.4, and enhanced slightly using Photoshop AI, this photo highlights the serene and artistic essence of this hidden gem.

i like the idea but the model is just too far away. i'd crop out some of that sky so we can tell what the subject is without squinting
