Lovely image. This would make a great poster. 10

Quiet. Sit back, and listen to the surf, imagine two thousand years ago, with a brigand ship slipping into one of the inlets in the mist. Imagine the young lovers talking on the high rocks overlooking the sea. An image of mystery, peacefulness, and calm.

Tis is awesome shot. But why only 600 pixels when 720 allowed. Is it intentional?
 03/17/2009 09:25:25 PM
you blew it by submitting this less than the maximum allowable 720 pixels. this is an incredible shot, and it deserves to be seen as large as possible. as is, i can't believe it will wind up with the score it deserves. shame.
 03/17/2009 09:01:51 PM
Good title and excellent use of the landforms. A 10 from me... I hope you will tell where this place is.
 03/17/2009 11:11:35 AM
I really like shots like this. Nice photo.
 03/17/2009 07:14:45 AM
Foggy shots like this I find very pleasing. Should have used the full 720pixels though.
 03/17/2009 12:25:25 AM
This looks like a lovely place. I wish the picture was bigger though.
 03/16/2009 09:52:26 PM
the haze really compliments this photo nicely
 03/16/2009 09:45:13 PM
Exquisitely beautiful. 10
 03/16/2009 09:30:29 PM
Sweet subtlety
 03/16/2009 01:43:04 PM
I love the fog, creates a cool feeling.
 03/16/2009 11:02:36 AM
What a gem! Completely understated and subtly beautiful. Just about perfect! Bumping up...
 03/16/2009 04:09:35 AM
nice shot
 03/16/2009 02:40:20 AM
Love the light levels as your eye proceeds from near to far. Gallery quality.
 03/16/2009 12:15:31 AM
serene, the varied density of the island is great.
 03/15/2009 07:40:57 PM
very pretty photo. would use a bit of contrast, but not too much
 03/15/2009 05:47:04 PM
Beautiful!
 03/15/2009 04:47:39 PM

I like the layering of the hills. Nice shot.
 03/15/2009 12:05:24 PM
soft but not too soft, very much a feel of a water colour
 03/15/2009 11:59:28 AM
I love the different shades of blues and the jagged line of the mountains, a good scene.
 03/15/2009 10:23:59 AM
Very nice image. It's good to see a few "great" images. This is a perfect reflection of your abilities as a photographer.
 03/15/2009 09:14:26 AM
nice subtle pallette
 03/15/2009 05:45:20 AM
I believe this could be great with higher contrast (5)

take care ;D

This has an almost abstract feeling with the haziness.
 03/14/2009 08:46:36 PM
Yes! Those of us who live on a coast appreciate this beauty when it happens.
Lovely and well captured.
 03/14/2009 07:46:27 PM
nice calm tone
 03/14/2009 07:28:34 PM
Just like a postcard.

Beautiful shades of misty blues. Lovely composition. 8

Something beautiful and peaceful about this image, nicely done :)
 03/14/2009 07:21:00 AM
love the misty fell to this, the softness works
 03/14/2009 04:04:28 AM
I am sure this looks better when displayed at a larger size. At DPC size, the impact is not there
 03/13/2009 11:40:28 PM
like a painting in an art gallery!
 03/13/2009 11:20:23 PM
wow...this is amazing...such tranquil seas...
 03/13/2009 10:54:34 PM
Ooooooooh. . .I love it! I love the mystical soft foggy blues. I can definitely see this hanging on a wall!
 03/13/2009 09:43:48 PM
great depth with the mist and wonderful blue tones.
 03/13/2009 09:23:45 PM
Nice graduation of blue hues and lines.
 03/13/2009 08:03:15 PM
Classic.
 03/13/2009 04:43:32 PM
I like the velvety softness of this image. The layers of mountain through the mist add a good sense of depth.
 03/13/2009 04:26:16 PM
Looks like a watercolor painting - very nice
 03/13/2009 03:45:02 PM
Nice and simple subtle tones. I like this one!
 03/13/2009 10:00:15 AM
too light...not enough contrast.
 03/13/2009 06:37:59 AM
nice ..and abstract..
 03/13/2009 03:10:54 AM

 03/12/2009 11:46:05 PM
I love the subtle coloring! It suggests as much as it portrays. Nice picture.
 03/12/2009 10:39:01 PM
I love the delicate colors. Very unusual in these challenges and very effective.
 03/12/2009 04:26:32 PM
Shades of mountains, I love the distance and depth acchieved by nothing but different shades.
