This looks like an abstract, but it probably isn't, right? In any case, it's beautiful, so clear and such beautiful colors.

A veery bold image, Robert. Yours is an interesting interpretation.

The gold and blue combo is very peaceful. I especially like the long curve of the dune around the pond. Beautiful image!

It's not an abstract, Barbara. It is sand, water, and sky. The only thing that might confuse folks a little is the light glazing of frost on the upper dune.

Beautiful golden sands. The calm water is great, and the whole scene feels very peaceful and serene to me.

Very nice lines and colors. Good comp and the darkness of the water really makes this for me I think. Nicely done and seen.

This photo really does invoke a feeling of serenity for me just by looking at it. Not sure why. . .it may be the smooth flowing lines, the colors, the lighting, the isolation, the simplicity, or all of them combined. Irregardless, I like this, Robert!

Very serene and beautiful. Carolyn says "smooth flowing lines, the colors, the lighting, the isolation, the simplicity". I say, exactly. Nicely done, Robert!
