Dawn

For me quantiy usually ends up translating to quality. Meaning if I take a hundred pictures one or two will turn out good. This day was different. I still took a lot of pictures but this time most of them turned out pretty good. I would like to think it was because I was in the "zone" where everything I did turned out good and I could do no wrong. But most likely it was just because it was a beautiful scene and it was hard for me to mess it up, although I tried. It turns out that I am not capable of taking a picture of the ocean and keeping the horizon straight at the same time. Thankfully, that is easy to fix.

    Wow!!! Thank you everyone for the kind words.

    @Jacqueline , thanks for the invite. Seeing some of yur work inspired me to try something a little different in post processing.

    @Steve, maybe you are right, the horizon could have been bent. It was morning so I had not had anything to drink, it couldn't have been my fault. ;-)

    @borleanz

    thank you so much for the honor, I am overwhelmed.
