Nice work. The blue is almost surreal.

It is breathtaking in person. Thanks for looking.

Very pleasing images Michael. I especially like the lantana in #5.

Thank you, Tom. It was an early morning shot (Early for me - about 8 am) and it responded nicely to processing to bring the flowers forward. Glad you like it.

Very nice set, Michael! Reminds me of many trips to the area when I lived out there.

It's hard to stay away from Carmel/Monterey.

Having never been there I didn't realize this part of the coast was so rugged and beautiful. Well done sir.

Thanks for looking! The Pacific northwest is very impressive. We lived on the east coast (NJ) before we moved out to CA and I never saw anything like this on the Atlantic coast.

I took many of the same photos that you have taken in Monterey. Your rendition of the lone cypress tree is better than mine since my angle of view was the other direction as your's was focused against the shoreline. Really nice work in a beautiful location.

Thank you, Steve. It is a beautiful area of the country.
As I was posting the tree picture, I was thinking, "Shucks, it would have been better against the ocean background...." (or words to that effect)
I'd love to see your shot of it.
