Kynance, Cornwall

High tide at Kynance cove in Cornwall. I liked the halfway house between frozen water and 'smoke' the low sunlight on the water made the image for me with the fabulous rocks, its Serpentine, not exactly common and a bit of a feature there.

Yes, very icy, very cold, and very beautyful.

Thanks Werner, appreciated

You really captured the movement of the water with your exposure -

[Wavelength]

Splendid

[Tronhard]

It has a quality that reminds me of a painting.... really nice!

[Shadowman]

Very nice.

That was it! I share Trevor's opinion here...I never really like long exposure but this looks so artsy fancy to me and cold.....really cold.

Thanks Joe, it took a couple of goes at different shutter speeds to get what I wanted.

Thank you Nandakumar, appreciated

Cheers Trev, it worked !

Thanks John, appreciated

Thank you Izzie, I did get a few with the 'smoke' look to the water but I liked this look more. It was cold with a strong onshore wind so quite a few images have 'bokeh' from water drops on the filter, but not in a nice way so they got ditched. Mind you it was not cold like some of you guys have it at the moment, just cold for here

Nice image Mark, I like the exposure It seems a tight frame at the top but may be you did it deliberately

[marlunn]

Hi Binnur, thanks, yes it was a deliberate choice as the low sun was causing flare in the lens and it was just 'more rocks' with no real point of interest in them to utilise so I closed in and simply used them as a dark top to the image

You are too hard on yourself. I read this photo offline... I was wondering from your reply here if you had allowed us to see a few of the others too.

P>S. AS I had explain some posts back, we are having quite a winter drought in Central USA in some parts and that includes Missouri. John (Shadowman) warned of golf-ball side hailstones with no insurance coverages. On our way to hospital yesterday I mentioned to hubby about it and he said, our car (SUV) and our house has full insurance coverage; his sports car is not, hence it is always inside the garage, so it actually depends on insurance and insurers. On another note, our magnolia tree at the front of the house is starting to bud nicely. It will be nice to photograph them when they bloom soon but I will have to invent a way to do it with the limited things I am allowed to do my my hands until next month. I guess I will have to ask Bill to photograph them instead.
