 Santa Barbara, taken from the wharf. Love the soft light (overprocessed so nicely here) when the marine layer starts to lift.

Thanks very much to my very patient and very encouraging DPL teammates for putting up with me! Sorry about the massive lack of contribution as far as scores and such.

Cropped to make it more about the boats. Still, not good enough. Probably the shot itself sucks, huh?

Here's the way I like it best:



Gawd, I suck.

Bah on the score. Trust your commenters. This would look terrific hanging up in a seaside bar.

This is just beautiful. Much prefer it to the portrait oriented one. the horizontal just gives you more of a chance to be (at rest) in it.

Here's a really good example of how you can never please all of the people all of the time.

I personally think that doing what is suggested there would completely ruin this image. Like it just as is.

Sorry it didn't do better.

I like the mood of this image a lot. There is a peaceful feeling, yet at the same time with the clouds and all the boats pointing into the wind, there is a sense of an incoming squall - the calm before the storm, so to speak.

I love how the 800 X 800 really gives this presence on the screen. Nice.
