Yongteurimbawi Rock III Photo

Photographer’s Note

'Baengnyeongdo Island is located in the West Sea, and it is named so from a legend that tells of a young man who died of love, and numerous white cranes flew in and covered his body. The name means 'white crane wings.'

"This rock is so named because it resembles a dragon ascending to the sky. The rock itself features an impressive shape that spirals towards the sky. Yongteurim-bawi ('Bawi', is Korean for 'Rock') at left, is a habitat for cormorants & seagulls." There's a grey cormorant atop the rock, too. Additionally, there are 300 protected grey spotted seals, living on a rock, on the central north coast of the island.

Yongteurim-bawi is located on the central south coast of Baengnyeongdo Island, which is about 15 km wide. I liked the additional diagonal line provided by the fishing boat, & its wake. 'Bawi' is Korean for 'Rock', & 'Do' = Island

Hello Chris,
The foreground rocks act as pointers towards the horizon, something that is accentuated by the wake of the little boat heading out to sea in the distance. I like the overall tonal contrasts and the lovely turquoise colours of the sea. Thanks for sharing.

ciao Chris,
sconfinata distesa di mare con le rocce in FG a dare profondità.
Colori vivi e bella resa della scia del motoscafo.
buona giornata
maurizio

Hi Chris,

The moving boat leads my eyes toward the horizon which is giving depth to the composition. The point of view is showing the details and colors of the Yongteurimbawi Rock. The intensity of the light has a good effect on the colors. Have a nice day.

Hi Chris,

Nice shot. Interesting rock formation in the foreground of which the almost white colour contrasts with the clear blue water. The small boat accentuates the depth in the image.
Regards,

Marcel

Hi Chris! Impresses the colour of water perhaps and the rocks the diagonal line of boat that leaves adds.

Hi Chris,
the dragon like rocks make an excellent lead-in to this stunning turquoise sea,
The lone craft heading towards the horizon has a positive effect on this fine image.

Hello Chris!
Interesting and beautiful picture!
The lower part of it attracts me more for the shapes of those rocks and the color of the water! The upper part is less interesting but you waited for the best moment to take this photograph, while there was that boat/ship (?) up there, which added beauty and interest to the image!
TFS - congratulations!
Best regards,
Neyvan

Hi Chris: Excellent view of the speeding boat with the trail leaving this rocky island. Pleasing details and saturation with the green at the top of the frame balanced well in the shot. Regards. Jusni

Hi Chris
These rocks from that high POV give strong depth into the sea. Colors are pleasant and that is a relaxing view!

Namaste Chris
A fine converging perspective created by the rocks, with fine contrast with the lovely green colour of the water. The wake of the boat leads us right into the picture. Well done!
