Wow, Jim - this is REALLY beautiful. Gorgeous sky reflected perfectly in the water's surface with the slow exposure. It's got everything: color, sharpness, light, great contrast, plus is just an amazingly peaceful scene. I've got to make it one of my favorites. Cheers -

Hi Jim
This is a beautiful image - tranquillity, colour, sky, etc, all gelling to give a perfect image. Definately one for framing and placing on the wall.

Hi Jim,

I don't know if the colors are "real" :) but it IS beautiful!
In conveys loneliness, silence, peace of mind, recreation.
Thank you for sharing this.

But why did you "hide" the other beauty in the workshop instead of posting it normally ?

Best wishes,
Attila

Hi Jim,
I am a great fan of seascapes and Rarotonga - so this one is a top shot for me. The one in the W/S is also great, the rock may be a little central but the sky is stunning
great stuff - hope you have some more
cheers
Jack

Hello Jim,

The composition of this wonderful sky with soft reflections in the sea, is excellent. It produces a moody scene which I'm sure most people would love to live with!

Kind regards,
Bev :-)

Beaut shot Jim - lovely colour, nice DOF and the 13 seconds has blurred the reflections nicely.

A fine example of landscape photography.

Very nice and peaceful shot this one. The blue and purple tones are very pleasing to the eye and the overall exposure is perfect. Very nice WS as well.

Sorry to see you left TE - I struggled with it myself for a while but am just getting back into it now.

A wonderful sunset with nice strong and vivid colors and lighting. Sky with clouds are amazing, reflections in the water and black silhouettes of small rocks looks fantastic.

The effect of the combination of the bottom of the ocean mixed with the relfection looks magic,this is extremely subtle Jim.
