overlook

Cape Disappointment, WA

North Head overlooks Benson Beach to its south, and more importantly the mouth of the Columbia, where ships sail to arrive at and depart from Portland and other loading facilities on the river

That's such a fine shot David, I love how you've included the beachcombers in this, they give scale and a touch of humanity to this grey and sombre composition...excellent work!

The two figures in the foreground elevate the photo a lot. V

Incredible capture. Love the 2 people walking against the view of the ship and sea. V

I really like that you included the couple on the beach to give us some perspective as to the size and proximity of the ship. V

Interesting scene aided by the couple on the beach. V.
Gill Kopy16-Jun-2022 05:24
How cool that you caught a couple of people - wonderful feeling of space V

The big wide Columbia has a nice big wide beach there.

Love that you captured the couple walking on the beach, they really add scale to the scene.

I love this one, and I agree with Marcia, the figures really give a great sense of scale.
Marcia Rules16-Jun-2022 01:02
That is a tremendous show of scale! The people are totally dwarfed by this vessel BV~

The sea seems to go on forever and ever in this terrific shot. V

Very nice including the two human forms for size comparison and the long lens compressing the horizon. Good shot. V
Walter Otto Koenig15-Jun-2022 23:35
Like the view with this long focal length.

Love the cheerful name! I wonder what the disappointment was?
Hank Vander Velde15-Jun-2022 19:29
Excellent image David. The people provide good distance scale.
Apostolos Tikopoulos15-Jun-2022 19:02
Terrific composition with the people in the foreground. V
Kevin D Warren15-Jun-2022 19:00
Great shot - the scale is not immediately perceptible until the eyes fall on the two figures on the beach and it hits home.

nice to see the people there for scale.V.
Helen Betts15-Jun-2022 17:53
I like how tiny the people seem compared to the beach and ship. I never realized the mouth of the Columbia was in Washington state!

Wow, the two people walking in the beach really makes the shot for me. Well timed.
Danad15-Jun-2022 16:45
Wide spaces ! Stunning how the ship seems so close from the shore !
*V*

This shot really puts it all in perspective. I love how you show how close to the beach the ships go and the people on the beach. ~V~
