Photographer's Note
This was a tough one…sit back, relax and enjoy the setting sun…or pick up the camera and try to freeze the moment?? It didn’t take long to decide, I figured this would probably outlast my memory…so it’ll be nice to have this as a reminder I was there! :)
Biarritz is a city on the Bay of Biscay, on the Atlantic coast in the Pyrιnιes Atlantiques department in southwestern France. It is a luxurious seaside town and is popular with tourists and surfers. This is a view looking out over one of the cities well known attractions, le Rocher de la Vierge (Virgin on the Rock). Difficult to see from here, but she’s just below the horizon, to the left of center.
Thanks for stopping by!

Hi Jason,
good decision made and...the result of your work is stunning!I like the scene in vertical,but what I like the most is the color scheme of the image with so delightful warm colors of setting sun and really eye-catching contrast(the horizon line between the ocean and the sky and its color contrast-simply amazing!)
We see here quite often sunset photos,but this one my friend is definitely first-class!
Have a good day
Krzysztof

Ciao Jason
mi piace molto questo tuo scatto per la bella contrapposizione tra i toni del blu e quelli del rosso del cielo separati dalla linea dell'orizzonte.
Ma mi piace anche per l'ottima composizione ed il taglio verticale che dΰ una particolare imponenza a questo splendido paesaggio marino.
Complimenti
Ciao e buona giornata
Romano

Bonjour Jason,
J'aime beaucoup ce cadrage vertical qui donne une image trθs profonde et trθs belle.Les rochers qui s'allongent dans la mer guident le regard vers le superbe coucher de soleil.

Where and why did you hide this magnificent photo for such a long time, Jason?
The sight is outsranding view of rocks formation stretched to sea.
The sky in brown/orange, the silky ocean and some tiny people walk along the magnifcent promenade, all culminate to a wonderful scenery.
Good contrst and clarity achieved. marvelous shot taken.

Hello, Jason,
My congratulations! Very artistic photo frame, excellent colours, I love this view, it reminds me the photos of Robert1969. This is very symbolic scene, the sun goes to to the USA.
Have a great weekend!

Hello Jason,
Beautiful moment and a beautiful picture.
I recognize what you have written.
Personal I think that the experience(and
feeling the experience) is just as
important as making the picture. The
viewer can feel it and you have a nice
memory. The picture has a lots of depth
and highness. It's rough, exciting and
calmness at the same time. The light
management is also great.
Friendly regards,
Robert

Hi Jason
yes, its very easy to view this one as we're sitting here looking at our computer monitors.
I like the 1 sec exposure, just enough to give a sense of movement, and the royal blues are my favorite.
very unique looking rock formation too.
I hope you didn't take too long to shoot this, its best to be enjoyed :) haha
enjoy your weekend

Jason, a spectacular shot with great colors top to bottom. The contrast between the oranges and the blues is wonderful. I like the choice of a vertical frame as well. I hope you had a drink in your hand at the time. Looks like a pretty nice place. Thanks.

Hi Jason,
Probably not much more I can say that hasnt been said above, but wow, this is a class shot. The softness to the light in the sky is beautiful against the jagged textured surface of the rocks, and the three main colours are perfectly complimentary to each other here. Stunning place and capture.
Thank for sharing this!
All the best from Ireland

Hi Jason.
A stunning composition, those curious rocks that are moving into the sea, offers superb image perspective, the arch created by waves in them, is a detail of strong impact on the attraction of composition, perfect the orange sky which contrasts with the blue-grayish in a calm sea.
An image to enjoy with its beautiful color, very bright and perfect sharpness.
Excellent done. I love it.
Happy start to the week.
Best wishes, my friend.
Luis.
