A walk on the wild side

Posted by Marion (Nanaimo, BC, Canada) on 15 April 2008 in Landscape & Rural.

This was taken on Cannon Beach and is a picture of the legendary Haystack Rock which stands 235 ft tall. The lady in red gives it a real pop. It was a great day.

Oh yes!! Cannon Beach. Excellent, Marion!! Also, really love all the birds in the mid-ground. Did you try this in b/w? Just wondering... not a criticism.

@amy: I hadn't thought of it because I am such a lover of color, but I took the original and converted in to B&W and the effect is not too bad. ps. I didn't take it as a criticism.
