A quiet pre-dawn moment on a small Adirondack pond this past autumn. Thanks for looking.

A real sense of peace and quiet. Wouldn't mind it being a wee bit brighter, I think.

So serene that I think a square format would also work well to enhance this, cropping some of the left off.

Nice moody blue rendition. I would agree with Floris, maybe a bit brighter?

Kurt,

Very peaceful and quiet. It's the kind of morning where one would sit by the shore cradling a hot cup of coffee in chilled hands, while listening to the loons. Nice.

I like the openess of the repost.

Very nice work!

Very solemn and peaceful. I like the mood and the misty blues.

Nice website, BTW. Looking good!

Beautiful Kurt, very moody too. The repost is better in terms of brightness, though maybe you went just a tiny bit too far in my opinion.

The darker version shows a more thoughtful mood, I think I prefer this one. Very impressive by its simplicity!

Looks like its out of the movie The Fog. Being that I just saw it last night, this is almost creepy. I love it though.

Man I love the serene mood here, Kurt. Looks like a wonderful morning to enjoy the quiet solitude and sounds before the day begins. Awesome image.
