I just can't decide on this one - I was a tard and shot at ISO1600, but other than that, let me know what you think:

i like the sheen on the rocks.

but I wish the trees either had more detail (they'll get noisy as hell though) or were silhouettes...

I love the contrast of the rocks and the water, but I agree it needs something...

edit - maybe high contrast B&W (black trees)

Did you shoot RAW?

I agree with French.. go B+W I love the long exposure but also want more detail. B+W lends itself to some grain, and if you shot RAW you can bring out some detail without getting too noisy and get a "better" image. Better here is subjective.. but just figured I'd give some food for thought.

I really do like the image as it stands, but think you could bring it up a notch if you wanted

OT, i don't like the space bewteen the k and a in your sig. it makes it look like two words.

Love the rocks!

yeah, that font does that for some reason... With his last name, adding more space after the T might make it interesting though...

it's ever so slightly off. Whenever you think that's it, scroll so the line is right at the edge of your browser's window.

I can't push more detail here without crazy noise, at least in the color version.

I DID shoot raw (always do), but with my mistake of using ISO1600 it's pretty bad with this long of an exposure as far as noise goes. LR3's noise reduction has helped a lot though. I have a b&w, but didn't upload it yet, I wanted to see what you all thought of the color first.

I'm trying the mogrify plugin for LR3, that's the font's work (as ben mentions)

The result on the rocks was a surprise to me, I didn't expect so much shine on them.

The horizon is not off - I shot with a level on the camera. The line you're seeing is the shore receding back and isn't the true horizon. I normally don't like to adjust when that's the case unless the image is uncomfortably off - what do you guys think?

yeah, the angle of the shore makes it LOOK off, but if 2 people have mentioned it I'd probably fix it anyway?

also, levels on the camera tend to not be perfectly accurate, at least not mine. The 7D's internal one is great, but the spirit levels I have are only "close" from what I've seen?

I may not get the b&w, leveled version up until after the weekend. We'll see.

OK, finally got around to putting up the b&w for you all.

I really like that, Jay

I like the Black and white best.

that last one looks like it's tilting to the left.

Sonofabitch! I forgot to 'straighten' it.
