Created this image a while back. I was driving on my way home from Ft. Desoto when I decided to pull over and take advantage of an opportunity before we crossed the Skyway Bridge... my wife wasn't too thrilled, but I was :D

Thats why they make cars with 2 and 4 doors Blake. So she can jump out and drive off for a coffee when you get out to take an image. Love the subdued color and milky light water and the slight sun ray reflection.

The light definitely makes the image here Blake and the composition is well done. I would like to see more shadow tonal separation in the left and right corners. Probably your TIFF has it, JPG transition may have lost some. Would have been a killer scene for HDR.

Hey Blake,
Nice to see you down here..........hope they warned you that my favorite tool in PS is the crop tool. I had the same feling that Robert did..........and I also felt the bottom of the scene was a little "heavy" and took away from the water and color. so with my favorite tool............I took some of that heavyness away. I even went higher with the crop than what i posted below to a pano........above the shadow area of the large rock on the left........but didn't want to give you a crop heart attack (I did like it that way too). I also added +6 to H&S......that's it. Let me know what you think!
