 Whoa, first place, now I never imagined that!

Jetties, one of my favourite subjects. I've also started using cokin external glass graduated filters as you can see on this shot, it can really help for some dramtic effects, especially when shooting into the sun as my dad taught me......! This one's for you Bill....Keep well!

Virtually no editting at all, neat image for noise, very minor touch of topaz adjust, USM and re-size.

Lovely into the sun shooting. I may have to look into learning about filters after I see what you and Joe (jdannels) can do with 'em. Though I fear it's more your eye and skill than the filters!
