Scott, great title, great photo.

I enjoy composition, sharpness, lighting and dof (f/16 really worked well here).

Exposure is perfect too.

A pleasure to check. It's also nice to see there is not overexposure upon the shiny clouds.

What a wild capture - the devastation of hurricanes is very evident here. My friends in Pensacola Florida have still not moved back into their home since Ivan in October!

Nice post, Scott!

Nice shot Scott,
Well composed, good colours and sharpness. NIce POV. The centred horizon works well with the twisted tree.
Thanks for posting, have a good weekend.

Scott,
Nice shot! I like the deatil you was able to capture in the bright light! The greens in the water, the tide and the rocks in the background. The picture is vibrant. looking at the short shadow of the tree, I would guess it was taken around noon. The low tide shot is a good idea as to show the vegetation on the shore. I also think this centered shot works! Very crisp shot, once again, a wonderful post!

Hi Scott

Nice clear shot. The light looks a it harsh, but you have managed it very well. It would have been easy for the sand to be OE. Well done. The tree itself is a sorry sight. One can only imagine what it must have looked like. Good sharp details and nice POV. Good work. Thanks.

Hi Scott, quite artistic I think. What a tortured tree, it has had a hard life growing up and then was killed on in the hurricane. Tough! Your pp work has had good results because I think this looks good. Well done.
Did you enjoy yourself there?

Lovely, artistic shot of this sad tree. The stark grey branches stand out well against the bright sand. I love the puffy clouds in the sky and the low tide shot. Well done, I hope you had a good time there, it looks like a lovely place.

Hello Scott, good picture. I like the twisted trunk of this tree and the stripped tree is well explained by your note, hard to image the forces involved.

The twisted bit of the tree is a point of interest here and I think you could have improved this with a lower POV to get the twist to contrast with the blue sky. Also, the lighting was tough as it looks close to midday - the light would be better in earlier or later to light the subject from the side rather than from above.

Nice work.

Hi Scott, I do not have the time to write a decent comment. I give to you the well deserved smiley. Very well done under this light condition.

Thank you for sharing pictures and notes and for the enjoyment which they give to me.

Have a wonderfull weekend!

Hello Scott,
Excellent but a bit too centralized. Everyting else is perfectly OK.
