Outstanding.

Lovely. Too good to be simply clip art though of course from a commercial standpoint this could easily be a background for an Olay commercial or perhaps even a Lexus advertisement. Profound image, great contrast and use of positive and negative space. The photo tells a story in simple poetic restraint. Brill.

Stunning shot

Horse Island should be using this as their tourism icon, because it makes me want to go there!!

3000???!!!!! far out. Thats insane!
Great shot though although I would have cropped the vignetting out.
Great light, great sky, great reflection. Sepia works for it.

Every now and then an image like this comes along and you know why you love photography. You have captured the enormity of that landscape, especially the grandeur of the sky with those amazing clouds.
I’d never have thought of doing a scene like this is sepia, but you have, and it works wonderfully.
Thank you for an absolute delight.
