Cardiff by the Sea, California
The shapes and reflected colors of the sky caught my attention on my way out. Nothing but an abstraction.

Jimmy, this is one sweet abstract. Love the color gradient in the water and the color combination giving it a cool feeling. I personally do not have any nits whatsoever.

No nits from me Jimmy. This is awesome. I love the shapes and the colors. I guess I have one small (very small) suggestion, and that might be to clone out the little 'bump' to the left of the frame, a bit above half-way. It just seems a bit close to the edge for me.

Beautiful colors and shapes Jimmy - looks like something being viewed from space. Good eye.

Very nice, black tears of lava comes to my mind. Maybe it's just the time of day :)
I really like this image, nice abstraction Jimmy!

Beautiful color gradient Jimmy, and I love the graphic shapes. The lack of perspective is cool...could be an aerial image.

I've always thought that the puddles in your beach images would be good alone with out your signature clouds and sky. I was right!

This is one of those times when I should back away from the keyboard and stop typing.
Ah, hell, I'm Pete D, I don't care.....
I love this composition. It directs all attention to the upper right. There is nothing up there. It did take me through a nice color gradient, and, hey, there is a bold figure back below, and, hey isn't it cool the way the light is bouncing off the rocks -- or whatever---. It looks they're floating in space, which I reckon they are in a way.
Great photo.

Cool shapes and colour gradient. A wonderful abstract. My tiniest nit is that the bit I'm not sure about is the band of the rock at the top of the frame. I think a crop and some cloning makes it even more abstract and ambiguous.

It is a beauty, JG. Excellent abstract.
No one asked for more shadow detail. Must be a miracle.

I like this one Jimmy its very eyecatching by the way that long isthmus of land is Italy with the high heeled boot pointing backwards.

Jimmy,
Awesome, natural abstract. I love the color gradient and also I think the balance between the rock shapes and water/reflection is perfectly captured here.

Wonderful abstract, and I love how the reflected water just pops.
