Comment. I find the lower half of the picture difficult to understand: where exactly is the rock ledge? Because of the head-on perspective of the cliff and the fact that parts of the cliff are colored the same as the horizontal area that the people are standing on, the picture is almost like an
M. C. Escher optical illusion with tricky perspective.

It is a great idea, I should have nominated the image as an illustration of the optical illusion :) Santa Cruz tidepols have actual pools and channels. I was standing just above onr of the channels. You do see water at foreground, some sea stars and sea anemones. The vertical part of the channel (the channel's wall) looks wet because it was wet (the surf comes and goes all the time). So the rock's ledge is the part of the rock that is under the water, and just above the water, the channel's wall. Forefround people are standing at horizontal rock. At that time the surf did not reach there. All that is surrounded by cliffs with houses, beach and the ocean. Any clearer now,or still just an optical illusion :)--

Support original: good EV, good technical quality. It would be nice if you could geotag the photograph. Does this beach have a name, and is it in a specific district of Santa Cruz? It could be added to the
Santa Cruz, California article.

I added geolocation and info about the state park the image was taken at. Thank you for interest in the image!--
