Allan, this is just a WoW picture! I love everything about it.

[Don Railton]

Yep Sandy, I agree completely and I have a feeling we are quietly building to the final one which will be the killer....Love the colour, the bridge placement and the little sandy foreground/foreshore that completes the picture... Well done Allan..

Don't get your hopes up Don - posting in a random order. :S3:

Wow, nice light and comp.

Hi Allan, beautiful colors in the sky and the longer exposure really made the water beautiful as well. I am undecided on the bits of sandy shoreline in the foreground. I might make an alternate version by cropping them out too.

I would remove the fg sand. It does not add to the image and just distracts the eye from moving over the colorful water to the bridge. The sky is killer. Crop the fg and your there.

Much preferred over the last post. Foreground to me is OK.

Grady, I gave my reason for removing the FG sand. Why do you suggest leaving it there?

[Don Railton]

Hello Robert

I know you did not ask me directly but I too like the foreground sand and its because it makes me feel as if I am standing there... I know most of my images don't have that 'feature' but its something I connected with immediately I opened up this image...I imagined standing just there and looking at that scene...

Killer sky and water colours!! I too support a crop from the bottom to remove the sandy FG...
