stillness
Stillness has been nominated in Pay It Forward by Virginia N Fred, This is what Virginia had to say about your image -
”I would like to nominate and pay it forward to kathy s gillentine and her photo called stillness, I choose her to nominate because she has been a great insperation to me and has taught me so much with my photography, the photo I choose because it is so peaceful looking and a wonderful piece of art, the clarity, composition, and the stillness of the water look like glass.
Thank you to Gina for nominating my image , and it has been a honor to work with you and I will continue to help you anyway I can.
Capture this on Pine Island , Florida. Shot this over looking the bay before the sun came over to this side of the island.
