Taken from Kenai Beach in Alaska looking South. It was a glorious day with the sun shining (got a little bit of glare on the lens), but I thought it added so much to the picture. Comments welcome & appreciated.

Pretty view, and at first I thought the glare was a contrail in the sky!

I think we're slipping a bit to the left, but other than that, I like this composition.

We don’t make art to show someone what something looks like. All this requires is eyes (or a lens). Art is supposed to have meaning, emotion, power, or magic. Alan & Mario "FourThirds"

Very nice composition. The water looks so calm and peaceful. I kind of like the glare in the picture, but it would have looked nice without it too. Great work!

Great shot Pam. Surely the C Index will climb. Deserves higher numbers. I really like the angle and the composition. You did good.

Grandsons team finished 5th. They played good.

This is a great shot. I've been all over Alaska many times and it is a truly wondrous place. This captures that feeling very well. Thanks for sharing.

Great picture, although the stones seem a bit too dark. Try playing with the contrast to really bring out the scenery.

Life isn't about the number of breaths you take, it's about the moments that take your breath away.

Glare? Couldn't find the glare, did find a contrail. :) This is an interesting, almost forbidding shoreline and I'm glad you mentioned that it was in Alaska...where the land seems to be younger than the rest of the North American continent. Technically, you have divided the picture into halves, dark and light (on a diagonal), and I think more shoreline and less water would work. I love the various blues, and those clouds are showing me a high, chilly wind. I am drawn into the challenging feeling of this scene, which (to me) is the essence of Alaska.

Other that a slight tilt to the horizon this is a beautiful image - nicely done -

So many pics and so little time can mean just one thing - it must be - tee time
