...As Within, So Without. A focused look at the tree from Chesapeake Sunset. Thanks Cindy...your words started me on the train of thought that the camera really is an extension of the photographer...and sometimes, we really need to be at peace within to "see" the beauty around us.

The words of Hermes made an impression on me when I first heard them many sunsets ago. That's a wonderful train your were on, Chris, and words of wisdom you spoke. This shows how good a shot the full scene was to be able to crop and frame just a part of it and come up with another sensational image. The colors are stunning and the scene thought provoking. Beautiful!

You will be led to the knowledge of the internal things which are invisible to you, by the external things which you see before you. . . . Even so then, we can represent to ourselves in thought the Author of all that is, by contemplating and admiring the (visible) things which He has made, and ever brings into being. - Hermes

I often find Cindy's comments or quotes that she leaves as inspiration. It's nice to be able to communicate with like minded people..Gorgeous upload and very nicely worked.

For me, I think this shot is more about the reflections. The tree is definitely enough of a subject to hold its own, but the blue in the reflections is just amazing. You're really representing the Chesapeake well!!

Nice effects. The branch on the top right is a little distracting though but over all a very serene shot.

This is exceptional, and all the more so for being a crop from the original image. Hits the spot on so many levels and conveys a wonderful feeling of warmth. Very well put together.
