 2005 - In Pursuit of Deeper Glory

For the earth will be filled with the knowledge of the glory of the LORD, as the waters cover the sea. - Habakkuk 2:14

From the rising of the sun to the place where it sets, the name of the LORD is to be praised. The LORD is exalted over all the nations, his glory above all the heavens. - Psalm 113:2,3

Deeper glory is around us everywhere, if only we had the vision to see it. - Thomas Robinson

this is beautiful, but i can't help but feeling i'd like it more if it wasn't so blown out, and if the saturization had been punched up just a wee bit.

A sunset that gives me more to look at than just a pretty sky! Wonderful use of foreground rocks to provide composition. Your positioning, which makes the rays almost emanate from the rocks, is excellent. The horizontal line of orange reflection near the shore is also lovely.
