Judges Comment

The landscape, the hazy light, no aggressive colors and the man looking into the distance - all these elements take your mind far, far away. This photo has a wonderful dimension to it.

Photographers Comment

This photo was taken off of highway 1 in California. This overlooks Stinson beach where a few of us went to surf for the day. Everytime I personally view this picture it pulls me from reality...much like the ocean and the mountains do everytime I visit them. I normally shoot with a NIKON d5000 dslr but this was taken with my basic point and shoot. Goes to show that a photo is more about creating or reliving a feeling than about perfect compositions.
