GREETINGS FROM THE CRITIQUE CLUB

A stunning image and one that did exceptionally well in the Best of 2009 Challenge. Congratulations on your 6.78 score. In any 'normal' contest it would have been a contender for a bright little virtual ribbon. In this one? Well a top 20 isn't bad.

While you did request a Critique Club comment, there is simply nothing to critique here, so with thanks for the chance to review this very fine image again, I will move on to the next image in the queue.

I was on the United States Pacific coast this year, and I prayed for a calm day like this to get a photo -- even if it was in the bottom stratosphere -- like this. But with the typical, every-day wind and fog and drizzle you see on the coast, I realized just how special it is to see scenes like this in perfection. I'm in awe! Congratulations on just such stunning photography!

Fantastic. I got it wrong with who the photographer was though. Konrad Blum and Pperold both have shots taken around here in their portfolio in the same kind of style.

Superlative! This shot could be by Philip Perold as he has entered images taken here before such as "Chocolate Chip" and "The Blanket" but I notice another entry in this challenge called "The Rainbow Fence" which I know is another favorite place of Philip's. Obviously Philip could not have entered both images so which one of the 2 is by Philip?
Aha...I think I worked it out....this one is yours Philip as you have taken quite a number of shots at this spot and this has your trademark touch to it. The "Rainbow Fence" shot was taken by Konrad Blum.
I gave this a 9
