Kissing rocks

...not really a very hygienic activity - unless you happen to be another rock and then you have to put up with some photographer training his camera on you. There's just no decency anymore... :wink:

Julian,
This is simply beautiful. My favorite camera and lens by the way. I endorse the Sony a77 if you have not already. The 16 position adjustable led makes shots in strange positions a snap to compose and shoot. :toast:

Excellent abstract Julian! I like the water motion, texture in the rocks, and rich color.

Neat picture! Great colors in the rocks and textures both in the water and the rocks.

Is it me, or is this a turtle kissing a seal?

Nicely seen and executed!

Julian, Very nice! Wonderful eye seeing this and then nice work with your comp. I too see the turtle and seal that Rebecka spotted. The water effect with slower ss worked great to frame this.

Perfect title! I also really like the water texture and color. I'll bet this would be popular with both photogs and non-photogs alike.

Now you got it, Julian. This is a really nice way framing and presenting this.

A stunning composition to me, Julian. The complementary shapes of the rocks and their tangible textures together with the dynamics of the flow make it unique for me.
