Beautiful image Paul. I really like the comp and the golden tones. The blend looks great and you did a good job dealing with the dynamic range here.

Well, the color palette doesn't suggest Florida to me. But that's not really relevant. Very nice image. A beautiful range and compliment of colors. Nicely seen and composed. The leading lines plus the curving flows of water naturally lead one's view to the rising(?) sun. Great job.

Great light and leading lines with this simple landscape image. The textures in the sand are very nice. If I had to suggest anything, I see a slight green tint in the water and sand close to the horizon and slightly on the right sky. Pulling that back a bit will make this really shine.

I agree with Peter's comments, Paul.

You might consider trying to open up the darks lower center and lower left. This is a nice seascape.

Beautiful image Paul, my only suggestion would be a little more light in the bottom third of the frame. Great composition, DR, and color.

Thanks guys! I'm not seeing any green, but the small size does have some in the posterization. The large size doesn't have it. That or I am severely mis-calibrated. I might try lightening the foreground a touch but really wanted to emphasize the textures. Again, calibration may be the culprit.

Nice job here Paul with the extreme exposure latitude. Hmmmmm, can't say I'm seeing any of the green mentioned. Colors look good to me overall.

Color, detail, and light control all look exceptional to me!
I especially like the dxetail, and warm light on the foreground sand. Sky aint to shabby either thought!

Very nice--- I like the symmetry and lines, and you did a great job taming the highlights in the sky.

Very dynamic! The light and lines just pull me through the frame.
