The stunning color, composition, silhouette and reflection all come together in such a beautiful piece of artwork. Congratulations on your Top 10!!!

Thanks, yeah, that makes sense. 4 different people commented about the dust/bird issue.

Thomas, I think that, blown up to large format and hanging on a gallery wall, the birds would be a delightful surprise as you walked closer.

But at this small image size, they're just distracting spots. And Bear, I was hardly the one to note that. :P

Anyway, it really is a beautiful shot, so congrats!

Levy, I'm pretty sure those are BIRDS. I magnified the image, and a lot of the "spots are birds for sure :-)

Thomas, fine shot, "damned beach"!

Great pic, but is that sensor dust or seagulls or what? I find those black specks distracting and I thought it was dirt on my monitor at first.

I do like the pic and with a frame/border and some cleaning it could be great.

Hold on while I pick myself up and put myself back in my chair please -- just fell out of it on impact of this photo!

Ok there. . . 10

At this moment, while browsing and voting, Strauss' Blue Danube is playing and Odyssey 2001 is in my mind, and then, this photo pops up. Good. You get a point plus for the luck.

Gorgeous picture, but it looks like you've got a bad case of sensor dust that needs to be cleaned. Or, are those all birds?

All is great except for the dust specks. Incredible light.

Great image. The colors and the reflections are nice.

This is a really nice shot. You're caption, however, sounds like a 70's "Billy Squire" song.
