These imposing rocks appear to be rising from a mist almost. Lovely colors. Voted earlier.

What very interesting shapes - I love the contrast between the glassy smooth water and the texture of the rock rims. Voted earlier.

Summer Haze

This is the kind of activity candid that I just love and never seem to be able to achieve. It looks like an illustration or a painting but I can't say why or what gives it that look. I do wish a few of the figures weren't layered as they are - esp the lifeguard - but that's the nature of the shot and part of its appeal, too. One of my favorites in the challenge. Voted earlier.

The light, color and, of course, shutter speed work wonders here to turn this discarded tire into a thing of shimmering beauty. Voted earlier.

I love lighthouses reflected in tide pools - well heck, I love lighthouses. Must have something to do with being from Nebraska where we have darn few of them :) Beautiful shot. Voted earlier.
