the whites look slightly blown out.
But an interesting picture none the less.

it's dificult to see exactly what it is, even though it says so in the title-seems a little too dark in places

Finding my place in the world

nice black and white picture.
I would rather there have been no-one in the picture or perhaps smaller and in the distance.

good colors, but seems to be slightly out of focus?

Sunday Sunrise

Thanks for voting me to a third place finish.
I appreciate it very much.
As there is so much controversy surrounding lots of "manipulated" pictures, I thought I would show the original picture.
Especially as someone even suggested that there aren't any rocks at this particular place.

I went to Folly Beach on Easter Sunday minutes before sunrise.
I took a window frame with me.
The glass had been removed.
I had a basic idea of the view I wanted, but upon getting to the beach I noticed it was low tide and there was a rock pool.
I sat the window frame down in front of the pool and took several shots.
This one was the clearest.
All I did to the picture was crop it.
That's all.
Absolutely nothing else.
No color or contrast changes.
Judging by some comments, maybe I should have done.
So there you have it.
I bet you don't get many pictures in the challenges that have so little work done on them?
Maybe the rules need to be changed to allow no manipulation what so ever?
It will stop all the arguments at least!
Or how about that when people submit their entry, they are required to submit the original as well?
That way, the SC people will be able to determine the authenticity of the picture straight away and act accordingly?

I'd prefer no man in the picture, but great tones none the less.
