Astounding, as if every mark and line has meaning. Mesmerising.

The first thing that popped into my mind was John Singer Sargent. Very artfully done.

Good image and title. The dialogue between tree and water it seems. Moody and pensive. One of my top 10.

Oh that is yummy. I have such fond memories of making sand castles with my Dad when I was little. I knew that was California, the minute I saw it. He was a native Californian (and even life guarded at Huntington Beach) and loved to body surf. We spent many hours along the Texas gulf coast in sand that looks just like this. Ours was more scattered with shells, but thanks for the memory.

i like the DOF. although i think if it was possible to have a tighter crop, then you would place even more focus on the orange flower.

Wonderful memories and beautiful colors. The blurred sky, water and people on the wharf add a touch of mystery.
