 A large, rare glass buoy/float on the shores of the Pacific, would be any beachcomber's dream come true. It would actually be almost impossible to find one of this size, although small ones are still occasional found. This glass float was used in World War 2 to hold anti-submarine netting in the English channel. It was challenging to get a good image with a nice shadow, sunny but without glare, a seascape background, and all completely in focus. There is a little fuzzines in this image in the upper right but heck, its dreamland which is often fuzzy too.

I like this shot and I like the idea...but you could have used more room at the top of the photo in the sky area...maybe a slightly more zoomed out version. As it is now, it looks like you clipped off the top.

lacking depth... perhaps a tweeking of hue saturation would have helped.It appears very bright on my screen.
