This looks great. Love the wide angle, colors, light, etc.

One small detractor, though. I'm guessing this was a low-ish shutter speed (blurred waves in the background), and.. perhaps handheld? for an image like this to be flawless (it almost is, very close) the static items in your shot need to be in razor sharp focus. They're not.. quite.

Just on looks alone, though, this is getting sent to the faves file. Overall feel is great, just needed that extra bit of care.

Nice.

Thanks for the interest Rob, just for info the pic was taken @ f22 + 2 seconds + 18mm on a tripod using a remote, with a ND4 Kood filter & Lee .6 & .9 NDS grad filters to compensate for the sky/forground exposure & to smooth out the water motion, thus blurred waves.

If there is any blurring in the foreground it can only be down to my tripod slowly sinking into the wet sand as the pic was taken LOL :))

Cheers... Michael..

Very, Very lovely picture!!! Very soft and comforting!!! WOW!!

Excellent shot Mick!...

just voted on this and wondered who's it was...I mighta known eh!...

it's a belter mate!>

Wonderful shot, love the blue tones in it and the composition is great whit those rocks on the foreground a pity of the blur on the waves, but I what you mean with the tripod sinking into the wet sand, have that all the time.

But again a wonderful shot :o)

+favs for me.

Fantastic view, great shot. I love it very much.

It's surreal! Stunning! Faved!

Absolutely Stunning.And Very Beautiful.Love it

Hello Mick, looks like this picture is getting a lot of a attention and rightly so, it looks like a lot of thought went into setting this up. For my taste maybe a bit more contrast to the sea may help seperate the boundries of sky and shore.

Nice shot, Michael! Thanks for technical info, would be better to adjust your software to not to erase exif info. Composition is very good. Using ND and grad filters is very nice idea. Just an idea, you might try some shots with high shutter speed. An F8 to F16 and higher shutter speeds (withoud ND filter) would made good result. Only difference would be more sharp waves. Anyway your composition has lots of static parts. Nevertheless faved!

To my untrained eye this looks fabulous. Wonderful colours and a nice reflective image. Great work.

The reflection in this is amazing. Love the blue colors of sky and water. Fantastic job on this.

Michael....

This is an absolutely glorious photo. The reflection is astounding, the colors are rich and beautiful, the composition is flawless. If you don't mind, I'd like to add you as a Caedes friend.

Hi Michael, the light is beautific, the rocks in the foreground anchor and give perspective to the wide open vista and the reflections turbo charge the whole effect. I'm guessing the sinking tripod legs explain the tilted horizon, which just took me ten seconds to fix in The Gimp, if you'd corrected the tilt I'd say this was perfect, even with the softness.
Mikel.

Echo Mythmaker here, he said what I was about to say about the horizon. That should've been fixed.
Other than that, this is really good. If not for the horizon, I think this would be permanent galleries-material. =)
