Taken with my 10 stop ND to get the smooth water. Shot from Ala Moana beach park looking across the boat channel to the yacht harbor. A very nice spot during sunset.

WooHoo! Shocked for sure.
A new PB and finally get to cross off my goal for getting a 7 but I really didn't think this would be the one to do it.
Thanks everyone for all the great votes and comments...I never hit the update button so much before..haha.

This was my alternative shot.
Before I got there, my original vision was something like this one because I remember seeing an amazing sunset shot of these buildings that a friend of mine took. After looking through all of them though, I really liked the landscape one better.

Thanks Margaret and Maria!
I was keeping an eye on the forums and sweating it out...knew you folks were right behind. I never updated so often before..hehe.
Back again. I see this as the Blue. However, I did vote a higher score to one of the landscapes. I gave this a 9 and my fav landscape a 10. However, this just seems to be what DPC voters will pick as the blue !
My pick for the Blue. Love the smoothing of the water and lovely tones and clarity. Normally not a fan of the letterbox borders but this one I can handle.
An excellent shot that captures the intent of the challenge wonderfully. I also love the added drama added by the clouds. This should do well in the challenge – Good luck.
