congratulations on coming in the TT .. with a title like that i'm glad you didnt get marked down too much .. those fours might have been ppl who wanted something other than letters and numbers to identify with .. lol .. ;)
this is so ugly and interesting ... i almost cant look away .. then i just have to .. what a great catch .. :)

this is crazy .. its almost like an optical illusion which goes very well with your title ..
that nearer 'pond' with the sand above it looks almost like they are on the same plane or something .. the sand looks like its hanging over the water ... i'm sure you would be able to explain this affect a LOT better than me .. i love it when things make me do a double take ...
the other thing .. when i first looked at this and the smoothness of the water i thought slow shutter speed .. and i was wrong .. thanks for the camera settings .. ;)
anyway .. congrats on coming in the top ten .. the colours and the sky are magic btw .. great image .. :)
