I love this photograph. I'm a sucker for beach/ocean shots - especially with rocks. This might also look good in Black/White with some nice grain added - more artistic. The clouds along the center of the photo seem a bit soft but that's what happens with an 8 second exposure - they must have been moving a bit. I love the lighting and the sharpness of the foreground. Great job.

The lighting here is absolutely beautiful. I love natural light and how it interacts with nature - as it was meant to be. The exposure seems to be dead on. My only suggestion is to get rid of the greenery on the lower right hand corner - my eye is drawn to it and the rest of the photo is where you want the viewer to spend most of his/her time. Thanks for posting. John

This is fantastic!!! I have seen many water shots but this one takes the cake. Wish you would have described in greater detail how it was taken, lighting, timing, how did you keep the water all in the glass, any photoshop, etc? Perhaps you can edit your description later and fill us in. Keep up the great work - very inspiring. Regards, John Lega

Very very nice. I love shots of fields against the sky. The tracks just addes to the photograph. An alternative title might be: "Parting Ways"..... John Lega

Wes, I love the concept and composition (rule of thirds well used). Great PS work as well. It's easy to get carried away with PS once you get started. Keep up the good work. John Lega

Excellent shot. I love anything shot against a blue sky. It's the best background out there (not shadows). I love the entire series but I think this is the best one, imho. Great work. Regards, John Lega
