About	I think this was from my first photography visit to the Pacific coast, about a year ago. Cokin 2-stop grey grad (before I switched to HiTech ND grads).

A magnificent shot, maybe the foreground is a bit dark for my taste.

thanks for the comments.

I haven't metered the Cokin 121, as I haven't used it since dialing in my ND grad technique. I switched to HiTech almost immediately.This one definitely generates a greenish cast during sunsets.

Perfect placement of the sun. Good use of the golden mean. I really like the three distinct but harmonic regions in the composition. Great mood. I like flare in some cases, but not particularly here. Perhaps waiting just a minute (or less) longer so that the sun is a little lower might help. The Cokin grad worked perfectly here. Its hard edge fits the scene perfectly and any colour cast it might have (greenish?) is less obvious since the hue of the sky is different from the sea.

My Cokin 121 is actually three stops according to my camera's meter. Have you noticed the same thing?

Nice job Steve. The frame is filled with beauty, and I like the sun off-center here. The breaking wave does add a dramatic element as well. The sun is just about to leave us all (only a little flare here). And as we say here on the islands an aloha and goodnight SanFrancisco....or wherever you were.
