Hi Chris,

This is such an incredible shot; the water white lines due to long exposure time further accentuates the sturdiness of the rock. Good selection on the aperture and exposure time!

Thumbs up!

Hi Chris,

Nice shot. 3 seconds work well here. What kind of lense did you use on your D80? 10-20 Sigma? Great dramatic sky. Could have been had a bit heavier in post-processing with the highlights / variations. I guess you did not use a ND Grad filter? But still dramatic! Thanks for sharing.

Greetings from Indonesia,

Congratulation Chris,
A great great idea and a great execution, of coruse the result with that sky contrasting the softness of the sand and water make very special your photo.
Congratulations

Yes!!!! Indeed that is a great shot!!!! I really like the swirving lines, the water draining away, the clouds. Excelent!!!
Did you compose it from different shots? THe sky is so still, I would've thought you took 2 shots and composed the final.

Congratulations!

Pablo.

hi, Chris:

this shot is really awesome, the long exposure successfully captured the texture of the water, rock as well as the clouds, an excellent shot.

cheers
