Browsing through the folders, I found a couple more from our time at Acadia N.P. in October. Today’s view is from the rocks along Ocean Path, just a little past Thunder Hole.
I have the background for the blog set to a dark gray. I think if you click a couple of times you should see the image against a dark background. Does that work for you?

I’ll just sit here for a while and enjoy the view. Beautiful capture, Steve.

Thanks, I.K.
One of the nicer things about sharing images is being able to enjoy certain things with friends who would otherwise not see them. Of course, there are things the friends see that I don’t, so the sharing goes both ways. 🙂

The dark grey does do a good job of setting off the centered photograph.
You’re still the king of sunrises.

I think most images are better presented with a black border so there are fewer distractions, but not all agree. The contrast between light and dark is, of course, how digital sharpening works and the theory behind the Rembrandt effect.
Thanks for the kind words regarding my sunrise images, Steve.

Two clicks it is, and the dark background is just the thing. Good stuff!

There’s something special that happens when you have rocks and water, then stir in a gorgeous sunset.

I feel that way too, Lyle. Wish I lived closer to the ocean. I think a road trip may be in order.

I am very impressed at the foreground detail Steve, which just adds to the quality of the image

I try to be sure to have a sharp foreground and, in this case, the ocean allows for a little shift of the DOF to the rocks. Maybe someday a tilt/shift will be in my future. Thanks, Andrew.

I do think the dark gray background does a good job of setting off the photo. Personally, I find it more appealing than black, which always seems stark to me, with too much contrast — except in occasional, specific instances where it can really enhance a photo. But iwth this one, the dark gray picks up the color of the rocks, and the entire screen — image and border — fits together nicely.

Sometimes it is necessary to have a strong contrast for light to fully give off its illumination within a photograph. In an earlier comment to Steve, I mentioned the Rembrandt effect. It is one way of creating an illusion of depth by placing a dark subject in front of a light background or vice versa. That is why I chose this dark gray for my blog background and hope that most if not all the visitors here are able to see that.
