Click Chicks Photo Linkup - Nature

This week's photo topic was Nature.

I was very excited about this and honestly I hard time choosing.  Between the snow on Tuesday and our amazing trip to San Francisco on Saturday it was a real toss up.  I love nature pictures, trees, sunsets, oceans, open fields, wild flowers all of these things are fun to photograph.  If I knew how to I would have photographed the moon, it looks incredible from up here on our hill.  However, I don't know how to do that and I had plenty of other amazing things to choose from.

Here is my official entry.  It is an edited version of picture I took from up on a grassy wooded cliff that overlooks the Pacific ocean.  It was incredible.  Can you see the rock formations out in the water?  

I love California.

Here is the unedited photo.  Lightroom is amazing.  If I was more experienced I'm sure I could have done a better job editing it, although I honestly really like the very dark original.  Something about the black silhouettes of the trees against the backdrop of the sky and the ocean, I kind of love it.  

What do you think?  Edited or original?

Next week's topic:  Water
