I think this is the best one of the Shi Shi images, Zack. Elegance is the right word!

I bet this one will go fast as a stock image! Great foreground to use for text. It would also make a excellent pano, if you desire. :smile:

I agree, this one is my favorite of the Shi Shi series. I like the separation between the sea stacks, and the colors reflecting on the tidelands, drawing one into the image. This is a classic Shi Shi image. Well done.

The sun-star one was much more dramatic and stronger IMO, but I like this more than the one on the main forums now. The simplicity and faint textures work great.

This is really nice, Zack. Love the details in the sand... subtle but very effective.

Those are gorgeous color gradients in the sky. Very beautiful.

Zack,
I agree with the others. Very scerene with pleasing colors. Beth also had a good point about the foreground for text.

Lovely image. Really like the subtle details in the foreground. Looks like you had a productive outing with your Mom! :smile:

Can't add a lot to what's already been said. Outstanding series! :toast:
