Colourful rock

[Jyda]

A large rock with colourful algea on the beach.

Beautiful!!!

[Bjørn Rørslett]

The rock is colourful and diversified and the treatment it has received makes it look remarkably better ...

[Øivind Tøien]

The dark background provides a very nice abstraction.

[Tristin]

The studio-like background throws me off a bit, but I still like the whole image!  Creative.

[Jyda]

Thanks.

I see what you mean Tristin. I decided to go for a "studio" look, but it's actually not very far from the truth as the camera saw it. A strong vignette and local contrast is pretty much all I applied.

Here is the shot SOOC:

[Tristin]

Neat!  Meant no criticism by the way :-)

[John Geerts]

Great shot,  like a nature's painting.

[Akira]

Well spotted and captured, Johnny!  It is hardly boring to look at such a rock.

Are you sure it is not an alien?

  Great find and presentation.

[Erik Lund]

Great clarity and colour

How was it shot?

[elsa hoffmann]

I like the studio look as the image is suited to that style for me personally.
cool rock.

It was a really simple shot (part from med balancing on wet rocks). X-Pro2 handheld with the 23mm f/2 mounted. Velvia simulation.
