Hi Lester,

I love the soft contrasts of this photo.  The stormy skies mould into the lights pastel and white of the water very well.  My only criticism would be that I don't think there's enough "going on" in this photo.  The two rocks and the distant sliver of land are a good start; but I think you need a hard, solid area to contrast (clash really) with the soft scaling of light shades.  If there was an island with some trees in between the rocks and the horizon I think it would be great.  All just IMO though.  Excellent work.

Excellent, and beautiful watercolor feel.

Serene and peaceful. Soothing colors. Whisper indeed. But, my eyes crave for something to attach on at the horizon - but nevertheless a wonderful creation. Best wishes.

Beautiful minimalist type of photo. I really like it. Jim

The softness caused by the long exposure is very appealing.  Even though it is only faintly visible, I also like the distant island (especially given that the rocks are pretty close to the bottom edge).

I was once told by someone with some degree of expertise that "we" generally like an odd number of similar elements within a frame (e.g., footprints in sand, trees on the horizon or in a field, or rocks in water).  I've looked at many images (including my own) with that in mind, and I think there may be something to it (oh no, another "rule").  I know you can't do anything here, but I just mention it in case you come across a similar scene and can choose how many to include in your viewfinder.

Lester you have given us a soft, dreamy seascape that is soothing to look at. There is lovely tranquil atmosphere, the composition is perfect and the colours are a gentle blend of pastels. This all works together in a lovely image. I could live with this on my wall.

Also, well titled.

A really great shot which has a graphic almost abstract feel to it. I love the layers of colour in this shot. Well seen and executed, best wishes William.

Awesome composition, I like the softness of color. Congratulations.

Hello, Lester. Excellent shot. Simple composition and amasing colour work perfect. Warm regards, Tomasz.

Wonderful shot, Lester...beautiful composition...very apt and poetic title...my best

Beautiful work with very nice lighting, Lester!

A veritable sea of tranquility to contemplate and enjoy. It really does convey a feeling of calmness and peace, the foreground stones offering a tangible element to the otherwise ethereal scene.  Very well composed and communicated Lester.

Best Regards

Alf
