The lighting here is beautiful, & I like the way the palm in the front echoes the suns rays! It's a nice little break from all the ocean mountain scenes!

Holy smokes, this is pretty. Way to visualize, conceptualize and put it all together. This photo is successful in striking an emotional chord.
I am impressed by the way you are consistently able to produce wonderful images in a location where I probably would be unable to do so.

This is a magnificent example of your processing skills. Even though the scene, itself, is quite compelling, it's the processing you've done that relates that so well to the viewer.

Simply gorgeous, Paul. The warm glow, especially the backlighting of the grasses, pine trees, the light on the palmettos, is amazingly beautiful. But I especially like the strong verticals of the trees and the foreground grouping of palmettos. Good to hear your business is thriving.

Wonderful composition and the light in incredible! Great job on the processing. I keep expecting to see a Skunk Ape hiding somewhere in the scene

Gorgeous light and color Paul. I especially like the highlights on the foreground grasses and palms. Guess we can use a little bit of that warmth in the NE right now. One degree F on the outdoor thermometer.

Oooh, that is some enticing light! I like the comp too. Both versions are oversharpened, seeing some edge effects in the trees--very easy to correct just treat the trees differently from the rest.

Excellent image Paul. I really like how there are 3 zones of color in the image (green at the bottom, yellow/orange in the middle, and blue up top). The sunstar is icing on the cake. Well done!
