I love the effects you can get when the sun is reflecting off water....

Two very different days....

I think I would've liked to see a little more colour & less shadow in the second shot to draw the viewer in. But otherwise nice location, whereabouts is that taken?

I agree. The cliff looks awesome but needs a tad more saturation. The sun on the water almost hurts your eyes to look at it.

Looks like a gorgeous place!

I posted the pics as shot.....

I'll have a look at the Sea shot later tonight and see if I can make it more "pleasing" to the eye !! :D
(Now goes off to read about saturation .... Hehehe....)

The shot was in St. Magarets Bay in Kent...
(I think the Lake shot was on Windermere in August 2002.)

This is not the original, it is the large you had up. Black and white.....really should go out and find at least one emotion.

I really like the last one you posted Neily! :thumb

The B/W that ginger posted looks great too! Gives the picture a lot more "oomph" :lol3
