 very little work done
a little Topaz adjust for pop, very slight levels, vignette & cloned some dust

Was shooting a lot of rock pools & beach shots over the holidays, but I kept having to wait until around sunset in order to get the slow speeds I wanted. Then I read about using ND filters to slow things down so ordered some on EBay.

They just arrived so went down the beach to try 'em out....I'm pretty happy with the result.

BTW: I stacked an 8, 4 & 2.

I love this image. My only comment is that it would have been a 10 if you had cloned out the railing. 9

This has a three dimensional feel to it. Neat.

I really like this - the muted colours are wonderful and the long exposure is magical. I love, love, love your choice of title.

I like the contrast between the smooth water and sharp, angular stone. Nice shapes in the composition, too.
