I was thinking calligraphy before I saw your title. But it works just the same. Really nice.

Love the tones and the photo. I'm not a big fan of the border. Perhaps a simple black border if you absolutely have to have one.

My entering is dying down again and I havent really voted in a while. I do a quick surf through the challenges looking to see if something grabs my eye. I add a fave here and there to acknowledge the image but I haven't had much time for commenting - even on the images that strike me. This morning I decided to look through my faves. It is funny how I can fave an image in challenge and then I don;t go back to my fave folder for a while. And when I do it;s like seeing a challenge full of images that I love. Not a dud in the bunch. This morning though as I checked my two scores (which I am stunned are as high as they are) and then hit my fave folder and this one stuck out. Well two stuck out actually for very different reasons. This one gave me a refreshing sigh. It made me think that this is what I want today and that today I will actually get it. Not that I am down or that I long for an uplifting moment. Far from it. But that I am so looking forward to today. And this image exemplifies what I expect and not just what I wish. I love this image.

And the other image, which struck me as much as yours for very similar but very different reasons, depicts what I expect at the end of the day. Not with a sense of dread but looking forward to it as well as my day of swinging comes to an end. ;)

It's a lovely big view. I like the shadows of the clouds on the water.

Ahhh...this lovely image shows every reason why I love the Pacific so much. I'm sure I even see a dolphin or two out there...;-)
