Would be nice if it weren't for all the stupid blown highlights! ;) ~ Lonnit

Thanks mate:-) Photography is hard work outside of the backyard:-)

I see you're venturing out of your back yard more these days, mate! He he. I might have turned this one to vertical throwing the viewer off and really making an abstract out of a seascape. However, the highlights of the water do give an abstract feel to it even in this horizontal format. Thinking outside the box is cool, Rod! Markjay

Thats great, at first I thought it was wet tarmac!

Thanks Paul & Mikey:-) I did some burning in so maybe not so good on the sky Mikey. The lighter bits are clouds.

Good'n mate. What's up wiv the sky, tho? It seems a bit mottled, or ... not? Cheers, -mikey

Are you sure it doesn't work with just the water? If i stare at just the water it's like one of those 3d posters that were all the rage in the 90s and you expect it to turn into the Sydney Opera House or Ronald Reagans face. The land and that faint bulge in the distance pull my eyes away. Good photo though.

Thanks Mary Anne:-) I thought a non lighthouse shot must be worth a vote or two & a big sigh of relief:-)

This is a different style of photo for you, Rod. I'm not sure I like it, but I applaud you for not being afraid to stretch a bit. But then, you've demonstrated countless times that you're always willing to take chances in your photos. And at least it's not a lighthouse!! ;~)

Thanks Carole & Doug:-) This was more of an insurance shot as I was trying to get an abstract just on the sunlit sea. But without the horizon they just didn't work.

When I first looked at this I was expecting to see a lighthouse off on the horizon then remember that you had that base covered. Nice contrasty abstract. -COAmature

Really nice abstract of the water Rod! I didn't even notice the island at first as the water really grabs your attention. Good one! CJ
