I just love this without qualification.

Still of the Morning

Comment:
I totally agree with the others that cropping the black at the top out would seriously throw the composition and balance of the photo off, but still find that it distracts me! Never-the-less, it is still a stunning shot.

Definitely a gorgeous shot, no "critique" necessary here. This is beautiful, Skip.

Chasing the Sunrise

Just an amazing photo! I love the composition, the way the water just disappears into the negative space at the bottom; the way the waves from the boat lead the eye right up into the shot. I like the contrast of the curving waves against the relatively straight lines of the treeline and the horizon. Color is beautiful. The original was a nice shot, but this is worthy of framing and hanging on a wall.

Weary Little Tourist

An exquisite shot of this lovely little lady. Just wish you had shot/cropped more closely in on her. A nice tight shot of her without the distracting elements of the hand/watch/necklace/etc, would have made this a 10 for me.

An awe inspiring shot, I am so sorry that you can't use it for the "Best of 2004" challenge. At first I thought it said Clark Kent Lake!! I really love the shot.
