When I came upon this scene, it resembled the Blue Ridge Mountains. The stacks looked as if they were carved purposely to echo the clouds in the back of them. It was a bit difficult to balance the lights, shadows, and haze, but thanks to my tripod and patience, the shot came to fruition.

The weather cooperated, and I was able to take advantage of the ocean's relative calm to use a 10-second exposure to soften the water a bit so that it would contrast with the points of the stacks.
