Terrific drama, but such a "knowing" gaze. One to treasure!

I am Poseidon, Ruler of the Sea! Sweet, and I like the forms that seem so uniform on the horizon.

I just love the composition on this, photo "art". Glad the voters liked it too. Congrats.

Robert, how wonderful to score so high in your own mileu, and such a spectacular image. I am often offended by HDR, because it doesn't "look right", it's not what light "does", and your superclean pic feels very natural. The birds really make it for me, so close to the horizon. Congrats on the ribbon in such brilliant competition.
