Every year we have thousands of people visit the Great Lakes. I captured this image in hopes of showing a great vacation spot. Not sure how well this will do. It’s my first submission this year…lol
Update: I've done better...lol
I am still very pleased with my shot:)
I added just a small amount of contrast & lightened the image a little. The colors were pretty much what I saw the sun set behind a sheer curtain of clouds.

I love this. So much for the eye to wander over. I like the stong horizontal bands of the sky and ripples playing against the strong vertical figures in front, the lighthouse off to the side, and then there's the curl of that one wave.... fabulous.
this is a superb shot. better than most travel guides i have seen. the colours are brilliant (they don't look entirely natural, and i'd be interested to learn what sort of editting was involved here), and the mix of the silhouetted family and the boats on the horizon really really works. there really is a good degree of genius in this shot. only very slight prerefance would be to clone out some of the crowd on the peir, but that aside, brilliant and very striking. easy 10.
