Barbara from Florida, United States
WOW! Outstanding capture Judy. Well balanced and framed. The haze in the distance, the building in foreground, everything about this image is FANTASTIC! I have to say it is one of your best. 5 Stars from me.
A side note, at first I thought of Dubai when the image opened. Also I would have cropped the bird out from the bottom.
This is such an amazing image, Judy.

@Barbara: You know, I thought about cropping the bird out, but then decided he seemed to be enjoying the view as much as I did, so I left him alone. :D
Thanks for the vote of confidence! *****

Nice composition, Judy. People having great fun on the beach. I like the distant mist.

Hey Judy, this is incredible. Miami almost looks like the Emerald City of Oz there in the background. All you need to do is splice in a little yellow brick road and use a green filter... heh. No, don't. It's a really good photo, all on its own.

@Viewfinder: Hee, hee ... glad you liked the photo, even w/o the "yellow brick road." :D

I love the bird in the foreground. He just finishes this amazing image. I have always loved shades of blues and browns together. This picture has so many qualitites there are almost too many to mention. The horizon zig zags and then the ocean shoreline zig zags too. An incredible picture. I will give you five stars too, but will touch them and light them up too, see now they are gold instead of grey!!!

@Marion: Thank you, Marion ... I too, love blues (& aquas) and browns together. My favorite memory is a room on Kauai, which was decorated in those colors. ... Your comment warms my heart and I thank you for the golden 'stars' ... Hugs ... xx

Sandrine from Cincinnati, United States
Great image... is it pollution or mist in the distance? Great composition.
22 Oct 2008 10:30pm
@Sandrine: Most likely, it's ocean mist, as little pollution moves in off the Atlantic, or even if a westerly breeze no pollution comes from the Gulf of Mexico.
