Still Waters

Sony A77
Sony 16-50 @ 50mm
ISO 50, 1.3 secs @ f8

I really prefer boisterous seas with great wave action but when on vacation one doesn't get to choose the conditions. At least there was a colorful sky and I liked the smoother water that allowed some reflection. Taken at Cannon Beach on our October trip. All comments welcome.>=))>

Really nice, Bill. I love the color gradation in the sky. The ripples in the sand are a great FG element. The image is very nicely composed and layered. If this photo is any indication, you must have had a great vacation

Glorious color Bill. I think this would make a great large print. The silhouetted stacks and dramatic lighting work on this one. Chet

I thought I recognized those stacks!
Great colors, it needs a bit of CW rotation I think.

That's a great sky and I love the tranquility of this scene.

Beautiful colors Bill. Glad to see you stuck around until that late glow; a lot of photographers leave too soon. Leveling the horizon would be worth playing with.

Bill, the colors here are spectacular and the rippled water in the foreground adds that little extra special sauce. Simply luscious.

The color gradient in the sky is gorgeous, Bill! Just the right detail to look natural, too. What a great moment captured, and a fine comp as well. Super shot!

I like it. It's really graphic, with those layers of colors. Nice one.
