•  Support - Really super! Congratulations. I've gotta visit this place. -- Ikan Kekek (talk) 06:08, 8 December 2016 (UTC)
•  Oppose Indeed a beautiful photo, but let top corner is unfortunately overexposed --Michielverbeek (talk) 06:14, 8 December 2016 (UTC)

  @Michielverbeek and Martin Falbisoner: None of it is actually blown out (255); is it simply too bright visually? I intentionally pushed the highlights as far as they could go to make use of the full dynamic range available, but I can make another version if everyone disagrees with my decision. Personally I feel the area will look grey if it's any less bright. -- King of ♥ ♦ ♣ ♠ 07:44, 8 December 2016 (UTC)

•  Comment - I'd prefer for you not to change it. I don't think it's overexposed; instead, I felt like it was actually that bright over there, and I like the different shades of the cliffs in the bright sunlight. Plus, if you decrease the highlights, the rest of the picture will lose vivacity and drama. I also think Mile makes a good point about the contrast between the bright sunlight on the left and shadow on the right. -- Ikan Kekek (talk) 10:13, 8 December 2016 (UTC)
•  Comment basically per Ikan --Martin Falbisoner (talk) 11:12, 8 December 2016 (UTC)
•  Comment Do keep it! I think we are sometimes oversensitive to bright/white skies that are perfectly fine and not blown. I glad someone had the guts to present such a dramatic pic you get from this effect. Many photos here are "self-censored" and loose their drama since users don't want the automatic "it's blown" comment. --cart-Talk 11:22, 8 December 2016 (UTC)

•  Support overexposed corner a pity but not decisive imo --Martin Falbisoner (talk) 07:17, 8 December 2016 (UTC)
•  Support When highlated part made some ambience here, with contrast on enshadowed right side. --Mile (talk) 08:49, 8 December 2016 (UTC)

•  Support We all know sensors see light conditions different than the human eye. I could imagine standing up there and staring into the glistening sun one would see more on the debated left corner. However, I would leave it as is; its a dream beach... -- AWeith (talk) 12:09, 8 December 2016 (UTC)

•  Oppose The top left corner bothers my eyes, and the body of water at right looks like a glacier. lNeverCry 20:10, 8 December 2016 (UTC)
•  Support Per Ikan and cart; the blown highlight is necessary to get that relaxing golden-hour late-day raking-light California mood (again, cart, I think of Lush's "Monochrome") I get the feeling this is what King saw when he pressed the shutter and what he wants us to see. Daniel Case (talk) 04:13, 9 December 2016 (UTC)

Daniel it isn't "blown". It is bright yellow. -- Colin (talk) 08:25, 9 December 2016 (UTC)

Thanks. It was late and I was in a rush. I knew it really wasn't fair to say it that way; I was just responding to some of the opposes. Daniel Case (talk) 15:47, 9 December 2016 (UTC)
