An older shot that I finally took the time to process. Not entirely sure if this will work for folks, but I'm curious to find out. All comments and critiques are greatly appreciated.

Canon 5DII, 17-40L at 27mm at f/22 for 10 seconds (ISO 50). Polarizer and 6-stop ND filters.

It works for me! I like the minimalistic comp and the muted colors. Should work even better in the square format.

I love the soft color and wonderful feel you captured here, Phil. This is very calming to look at. I think my dentist needs this hanging in the waiting room!

Very much enjoy the soft light and pastel colors that make for a very quiet image. The water motion is nicely done, especially that nearest the viewer. Really nice work.

I like what Eva said, simple and beautiful. It works well for me Phil, pastels with the minimal comp and smoothed water all come together nicely.

Wow I really like this it almost seems unreal. The textures in the sand really pop.

I love the color palette in this image and its simplicity in composition. Even without the rock and mark in the sand this would stand up well because of the frame divisions, perspective and color. Good work. .

Hi Phil,

I like the softness of the tones and overall color palette. It is peaceful and inviting. I was little on the fence about the rock, but the more I look at it the more I like it.

I like the overall feel and I'm sure a print will bring out the detail that compression is robbing here. Simple, effective, and engaging.

Really nice. I like the soft waves and the earthy tones in the fg. Excellent.
