lisae: i loved the illusion, even if not intended. It is my humble opinion that most of the voters on here are either completely blind or they only look at each photo for a split second and don't have enough brain cells to figure it out. lol. Nice job. I always double check all your photos since we have the same camera.
It's funny how a lot of people seemed to have thought the clouds were waves. A few commenters didn't seem to work it out, so I'm sure a lot of voters had that impression too! I didn't see the photo like that, because I knew the sky was impressively overcast that day. I guess it's kind of an optical illusion that I didn't intend.
pretty nice sky... I am guessing you did not have the fstop # set as high as it would go? the larger fstop gives a greater depth of field of focus and might give the pic finer details, enhancing the shot even more.. but otherwise it's a splendid capture
Wow... I was really confused for a minute. The clouds at the top look just like waves coming in... I love the golden colours and the blackness, contrast etc. I wish the bird wasn't there though. It's not attacted to the ground, whereas everything else is.
The composition, the colour, the framing, everything is just caught right. Even the bird flying through. I cannot fault this picture. The sun riding the waves too. Amazing. 10 -Annida
The foreground isn't all that interesting to me and it's really hard to make out. I think it should either be all black and a true silhouette or be lighter so that we can see what it is. Nice warm colors in the sky though. 7
Looks like a giggle in the camera, leaving the structures with a kinds double image. Don't know what the dark spot in the water on the left side but it looks out of place. On the right the bright sun washed out places in the waves, maybe where they are breaking. This has a lot of potential to be a beautiful photo of a stunning sunset with a better execution.
Composition: Good
Technical: Nice focus and colour. Good use of borders too.
Meets challenge: Yes
Overall impression: What's with the flying saucer?! 7
An inspiring sunset shot. Man vs Nature. What are those huge odd shaped animals chasing after that poor bird flying through the beach in the sky? An interesting twist on the sunset. I like!
Wow! The sky looks really cool in this photo! Where was this taken at?? I also like the farm feel of this photo and the bird that is flying across the image as well. Good job
