This image almost didn't make the cut. It was very overexposed, but something about it was very pleasing, so I opened it in PS to see if I could coax some life into it. The ocean really was this still the first couple of days we were here - almost stiller than a lake - and this color. Of course, it made the buoys really stand out - to me, they're the PERFECT complementary color. The clouds were just the icing on the cake.

I like this Johanna. Seems this sort of image doesn't fair too well in the free study though. I had a similar (not as interesting as yours) entry in May and I got a whopping 4.7.
