Info Porto Covo, west coast of Portugal during Winter. The picture was taken near midday, almost in countre-jour, to stress the contrast bewteen the surf foam and the dark cliffs.

Support That's really beautiful, well-composed, and with excellent lighting, which must have been difficult. I wonder: is the middle section of rocks fuzzier because of mist in the way? Stephen.job14:52, 12 December 2006 (UTC)[reply]
Two reasons: the (incomplete) contre-jour effect and the mist caused by the surf. Wind was blowing strong from NW (the islet is at S, more or less). Alvesgaspar15:01, 12 December 2006 (UTC)[reply]
