California Coastline

Shot this image about two weeks ago. Feels like its missing something not sure what, hence my hesitation to make a large print. Thoughts.

A lighthouse off in the distance? Seriously, this is a very beautiful shot from the detail in the greenery, to the motion of the water, to the lighting at the time you took it. The combination of the shore and the water are weaving their way throughout the frame in a pleasing composition too. While it is said that a great landscape photo should have good foreground, middle area, and background, sometimes that is not in the cards. I guess a really interesting sky could have topped it off; maybe you could replace it with another one (I don't like doing that myself).

So, yes, it would be nice if it had something else, but it is a wonderful shot as is too.
