The elegance of the image created by the motion in the clouds and water and the composition is really stunning.

Love the long exposure. The 'color' gamut between the darks and lights are super.

Incredible mood, and incredible image. The motion and the tones in your b/w conversion are outstanding.

The light and mood are amazingly conveyed here. I really like the conversion and the long exposure effect on the water. Very peaceful image!

Very nice, I love the mood, the separation between the foreground rocks and the motion in the sky. This works very well as a b&w.

Is it just me, or do the rocks seem to be floating here? Very unique light. Would never thought to use in in a picture, but this works well.

Beautiful image, and I love how everything frames the anchor stone.

Just superb - the detail in shadows really makes this stand out for me...

A wonderful moment, I especially like the formations of these giant rocks.

Wow, killer image and exposure Kah Kit!! My eye keeps going to that one little dot in the far BG almost dead center though--I'd definitely ditch that.

An evocative image. Almost primordial.

Kah Kit,
I always love your images. But this one seems special. The B/W and longer exposure work so well. Its just great content, very well seen. Best Regards.

Smooth and delicate...I`ve never thought of doing b&w moonlightshots, but this one got me thinking. Strong composition and great tonality...

Kah Kit,

I think you've been here before?

Great mood here with the b&w and long exposure. The somewhat dark presentation is very fitting here and I really like how all the elements fit together like a jigsaw puzzle. Beautifully crafted.

I saw only the thumbnail at the bottom of my screen with the info out of the frame and knew this was yours KK! I like this a lot, very evocative.

Great composition here, and the black and white conversion is equally stunning. Nice work
