Challenge: Best of 2006 (Advanced Editing V*)
Camera: Canon EOS-5D
Lens: Canon EF 24-105mm f/4.0L IS
Location: California, USA
Date: Sep 21, 2006
Aperture: f22
ISO: 50
Shutter: 2 seconds
Galleries: Emotive, Seascapes
Date Uploaded: Jan 6, 2007

2 Second exposure taken on the Pacific Coast of the USA.
I tried different exposure lengths, up to 30 seconds, but I think that the detail retained in the birds has helped this shot..

used an ND filter to reduce the light as much as possible

I don't know how to say this--I am going through looking at results, and apparently tonight while I was entering my comment and bumping my vote, my vote got changed to a 1, instead of the 9, I intended! (I was using the greasemonkey script, and I forgot to turn it off while commenting.) I'm really really sorry. I hope you can forgive me. It's a great shot.

Return for comment: This is beautiful. Love the long exposure and the nice light. Small Nits: I would have liked to see a bit more foreground though, and that might have given you a better split between water and sky. Good luck

Nice shot, nice crop and well done on putting the horizon on one of the third lines rather than the middle.

aspect ratio is somewhere in between landscape and panorama, makes the composition somehow centered, would have liked to see some more sky - 8

Beautiful photograph!
The shutter speed used here was just right, keeping the birds sharp.

Very cool shot - gentle soft colors. A wee bit of a halo around the border but back to bump you up to 9. Very well done.
