Being one of those myself, I've seen the light - this Planet doesn't really care.
Thanks, thanks a lot for the visit. I was thinking about vignetting a lot, but decided to keep it, as a testimony that I've used the widest possible angle in my lens. I had some dirt in the lens, so I went with this composition, although the one I like more is where the horizon splits the frame in half. So, now the dirt spot is buried someplace there among those small waves.

I kinda like it. And the idea is immense, definitely more appealing to me than a "good" this or that. However I think the photo could or should be better: the corner vignetting seems to work against the subtle curve of the horizon, and I wonder if more or less contrast between sea sky would help. (I'm still working out how to do water, so this may not be on). - Glad you defended your idea, though I'm not sure about the hairless monkeys.

Thanks for having a look at this photo. Believe me, it's better than you think...well, if you don't believe me, than just think about it...anyway.
This photo is good just because it has no subject, no golden sun, no islands, no silhouettes, no beaches...it's just our planet, wrongly named Earth...
And, what the hell does Planet Ocean cares if some hairless monkeys start feeling hot?

what's so good about us all being underwater? (aside from sea monkeys)

nice picture but it feels kind of barren. It needs to be more interesting.

The ocean is good, but this picture says nothing without the title. Sorry.
