"Before the throne there was what looked like a sea of glass, clear as crystal.
In the center, around the throne, were four living creatures...Day and night they never stop saying:
'Holy, holy, holy is the Lord God Almighty, who was, and is, and is to come.'"
This passage was my inspiration. Apparently heaven on earth is at 31st street in Miami Beach...

The more I see this the more I LOVE it..... I have just added this to my favorites, along with your "blue ribbon" winner in "Broken2" challenge.....You are also a favorite photographer as well.
While your shot doesn't strongly support the challenge theme, it's an awefully good picture. I wanted to make sure you knew that I'm scoring it down a bit only for that reason. As a picture (not considering the challenge) it's quite striking! Well done.
Wonderful rise / set ... but This is screaming Shadow/Highlight to me. I'm viewing on a MAc which is a bit lighter normally but I think that if the image had more dark areas the light ones would be stronger. I really like the bottom of the image (foreground sand etc.
A wonderful photo. The color seems a little strange. I would think the water should be more of a blue color, and the sky have a little more orange. It's still a very good photo and appropriate for this challenge.
This frozen wave is taking away the attention from these fabulous rays of light in the background. I would have either cropped the bottom part of the picture or used a lower shutter speed.
