Sam : This is it.

Frodo : This is what?

Sam : If I take one more step, it'll be the farthest away from home I've ever been.

Frodo : Come on, Sam. Remember what Bilbo used to say: "It's a dangerous business, Frodo, going out your door. You step onto the road, and if you don't keep your feet, there's no knowing where you might be swept off to."

I've got fairly fast internet, but this image took a while to load in! I won't mark you down for that, specially since DPC just upped the file limits.

Interesting geology in this photo, but it feels more confusing to look at with the fish eye making my eye keep going to the edge of the frame.

Point Bonita? Certainly looks like the SoCal coastline! Great photo!

Nice reflection and composition. Odd to me that the clouds above are darker than the reflection, feels a bit unnatural to me.

Beautiful shot of this historic cathedral. I can't quite figure out the black dot texture in the sky.

Great shot of the Three Graces near Garibaldi! Love the number of cormorants you got perched in the tree!

Nice inset frame. The floating parts in the background not blurred out are quite confusing.

Great shot! The background feels a little distracting to me. I wonder if you could have shot at a more shallow depth of field to get the background more blurred?
