Nice renderings.
Nice trials, I especially like #3
One of my favorite subjects and all in one of my favorite places, the Oregon coast. Not a fan of the processing but the longer I look it is growing on me. The last one looks like Cape Blanco near Port Orford. Haven't been there in 15 years so I could be wrong. The structure is also identical to North Head near Long Beach, WA, but the geography and secondary structure don't fit.
You win Dan,, It is Cape Blanco..!
I remember saying to my wife "It's either Cabo Blanco or White Cape but park sign makers love to do this My other favourite is "Vista View!"
Then they put the signs right in the best camera spot. End of rant...
As for the finishing, I wanted to try something different. Wanted a water colour look but I couldn't get exactly what I wanted.
Thanks Jon and Binnur, encouraging comments.
sorry I don't like them, these sort of effects were all the rage in the 80s and were part of Paintshop Pro 7 shame you haven't posted the original and perhaps in mono
