 A pier in Kuwait City. Kinda neat how the sky and water are nearly the same color and the horizon swallowed by the blue of it all.

Nice shot, and I love the blending of the sky and sea.

Very cool take on 'distance' and I really like the icy blue shades. I'm taking a guess at saying it's been taken 'hand held'. I think a tripod may have assisted with clarity. Also due to the incredibly flat sky I'd have cropped quite a bit of it out.

I think this shot would have been more effective if the sky and water didn't blend right in. I realize that you probably did this on purpose from your title, but it doesn't work for me. I also wish that the people were more in focus.

good color and composition. white border works well and conveys a "postcard" feel. wish the image was a tad sharper.
