    I am afraid, Ill get clobbered but doesn't do it for me. The first version had just a bit more detail. Should I duck now?

    I like the blues, the horizontal banding, and the effect the long exposure had on the water. It's good that the darkest blue is on the bottom, but I wonder about lightening it some.

    I like the cool, soothing blue color palette. Perhaps a bit more detail for the eye to follow but otherwise I think it's quite nice.

    I like it as presented Cheryl. It is beautiful and ominous at the same time. I like that one sliver of wave just coming through the dark band and the blue tones are gorgeous.

    Hi, Paul, you're safe I knew it wouldn't be everyone's cup of tea. In fact, I figured maybe 1 in 10 would find it appealing.

    Hi, Jackie, the little sliver is my favorite part of the image.

    Beautiful colors. Simple. Calming. I find this image less successful than other similar photos you have posted. I'm wondering about taking just a bit off the top, and increasing the saturation and brightness. Just my view.
