Barnacles' view of the setting sun!

A barnacle crusted rock is a strange sight to see. Looking like a part of the rock, yet living. People often use hammers and break their hard covering to get to the soft meat inside.

Here I wanted to portray a partially raided barnacle colony against the setting sun.

This was shot in Morjim Beach.

Canon EOS 1000D, 300 f/4 + 1.4x

ISO 400

Comments and critiques welcome.

Interesting.

How far or lower was the water level? Wondering if a 2x TC with a slightly lower Sun would have been better. The 2x TC will result in the Sun being larger in the frame. Look forward to some more experimentations.

The sea was around 5-10 feet away. This rock would be at a height of 3 feet or so if I remember correctly.

The vertical composition looks good. Agree that if the sun was lower it would enhanced the composition further. Thanks for sharing the details. Look forward to more.
