Sunrise on Oak Island in the Apostle Islands National Lakeshore.

Not quite sure about this one. What do you think?

Ken,

I like this one. Very nice framing, and I like that you have avoided merges. I assume the tranny has more separation in the LRC. A crop of the sky might perhaps strengthen the image further...

The shoreline form and flow is beautiful as is the horizon shapes and colors. I'm not sure about the foreground.

Doesn't work for me. The foreground is less than handsome and I much prefer most of your other work far more. Just another opinion....... probably not even worth $.02!

I have mixed feelings about this. I like the composition, but there's too much hard black (could be partly my monitor at work) for me to really like the image.

I have mixed feelings about this too. Viewing it here at work

, it is very dark cuz the monitor sucks but at home on calibrated monitors there is detail.

I've looked at this on two different monitors (one calibrated recently and one calibrated...well, less recently) and it's very dark on both. Too dark, IMO.

I like the shoreline a lot, and you did a nice job avoding a merger with the foreground snag...but I'd crop a little bit of the sky and try to dodge some additional detail out of the foreground.

Very different, and I like it. I don't mind the deep blacks, they make it a rather graphic image.

Beautiful colors---would bring up more detail in the lower R where the light catches the roots. I like the repeated dark shapes on the L U side and think the lines of the roots would be a good contrast.
