Hi Robert, beautiful image! Nice compositional elements from the foreground rocks,cloud detail on the horizon to the wispy clouds on top. I like the flow of the top clouds filling the area and framing the more defined cloud below. The 30 sec exposure softened the water nicely. Appealing image!!

This is beautiful. I love the flow from the FG rocks to the water, land, then sky. The colors are perfect . This is a very simple appearing image but has a lot of impact. TFS

Beautiful image, at first I thought the clouds on the horizon were kind of distracting or contrived looking, but they fit the image.
Almost OOTB looking with the processing and colors, but has a very pleasing look to it.

Hey Robert,
I love how the slow SS gave the water that etheral quality! Many times it doesn't do so well with clouds though but in this case they too have a nice flow to them. The rocks in the FG add to the overall look. VEry nicely done all around!

[Susan Candelario]

I can't add much more than already said other than I love the image all around!. Very nice job!

[Judy Howle]

I agree with the others. I love the ethereal quality and the flow of the water and clouds, plus the lovely soft colors in the sky and water.

Good to see you posting here again Robert! The flow of water and cloud here gives off some awesome mood! Colours and soft light are very appealing too.
The rocks add enough interest without taking attention away from the other nice elements of the image.

[John Storjohann]

Robert that is a stunningly serene image. I don't know what else to say...beautiful!

[Robert Amoruso]

Thanks everyone. I really appreciate the kind comments. Non-photography work life has really been a drag lately and kept my participation at an all time low.

Robert, nice to see the use of the TS lens; I have been considering one to play with. Love the image.

[Andrew McLachlan]

A little late to the party, but I love this one Robert! The foreground rocks are centered nicely, the smooth water and the beautiful color. Very nice!
