Homage to Ansel Adams

This shot was taken this afternoon at the Coral Beach, Plockton in an attempt to replicte the effect Ansel Adams acheived in his image "River, Sea, Clouds, Rodeo Beach, Marin County".  I needed a bit more light on the rivulets running down the beach to capture that kind of effect, and probably a bit more water too, but I am sure if you look up that image you'll get what I was trying to do.

I also found a rather nice red scallop shell and some coral and spoots (razor clams) and arranged them in a nice little still life  and got a few nice landscape shots from, and of the beach (below).
