The beauty of Big Sur
A beautiful drive along the California coast lies the beauty of McWay falls.

A couple of old photos taken while the Amtrak was stopped - somewhere in Colorado, I think?
(And yes, I like that the vertical leans!)

This female has arrived at Hamerton. This place rescues animals from all over the world, mainly endangered species, and they breed when they can.

I've photographed Ady a few times now. We get better each time as a team. This image was a fave from our latest session. I hope you like it to.

The place is really beautiful and the photo is very nice. But I keep coming back to the "AREA CLOSED" sign. ;)
Agreed. It's a beautiful shot, but I would just clone out the sign.
and the signature
;)
I wonder if there's a way to incorporate that better in the composition.
It's a beautiful place because we aren't allowed in and have people leave behind trash and what-not.
I suppose then he's making a statement instead of just capturing a beautiful landscape scene. A whole other kettle of fish, imo.
Thanks, everyone for the feedback. I've been here many times and agree that perhaps the area close sing can be a bit distracting but wanted to keep it as one, you are not supposed to and in the many times I've been there was a time that someone decided to get down to the beach and did by climbing on the ridge on the right side of the waterfall. So I can only imagine what this place would look like lots of people on the beach, leaving their bottles, trash and anything they don't feel like carrying back with them and spoiling the beauty of this place.
Great shot, but an extremely intrusive placing of the signature. Strange choice. What was wrong with the bottom right-hand corner?
Good point. I'll try that next time
It's a beautiful vista, but I agree with someone below who suggested removing the sign in post processing. Agreed, such lovely places need to be protected from the cretins who would otherwise deface it.
I also find your logo placed so prominently in the scene distracting, but perhaps you've had issues with people stealing your work.
