Sandy, this appeals to me very much. Your composition, the hazy morning light and the bird in the frame all make this a very nice image.

Wow! A morning view like that deserves a second cup of Joe. Needless to say I'm envious.

Misty layers, color and action (in both the waves and the bird) combine to make such a relaxing scene! I can see spending a lot of time there. Thanks for sharing!

I like the mood here very much. The flying gull adds a nice touch. I would crop off some of the left side. For some reason, the tree that is right at the edge of the frame is rendered very clearly, apparently unaffected by the haze. For this reason, it draws some attention away from the rest of the photograph. I'd remove it.

Sandy, had to stop and take a peek at this well balanced moody image. There is so much balance here with the trees and the rocks and horizon off to the right and then the icing on the cake ... the bird. Love how the light sets a beautiful mood.

Like the first morning. . . This is so pleasant and peaceful Sandy. You are so fortunate to have this for a view. For some reason the darker tree on the far left is catching my attention and I wonder if it would help to lighten it just a bit. I know it is part of the mid ridge which really helps provide the 3D effect, so it may not be the right thing to do?

Amazing image and great timing with the sea gull. Very atmospheric.
