Hi Pam,
What fascinating boulders. Great notes.
I like the composition of this image. It has a very mythological feel to it. Your frame is very intricate and impressive.

Hi Pam,
Sometimes nature can create the most beautiful pieces of art. And once in a while, photographers are able to capture them and create a piece of art themself. You've done the latter. The low POV and the slow shutterspeed are amazingly beautiful. This is an instand fav for me.
TFS,

wonderful and interesting capture, pam! :-)
well composed and with a perfect low pov and an amazing foggy
effect on the movement of the water due to the long exposure time.

The stones looks like they are floating in the soft water, it's lovely. Well composed and very good details.
I love the low POV.

Hi Pam!
What a place!!! Looks absolutelly unreal! Superb shapes of these rocks, long exposure was great choice here - blurred water added more magic to this seascape. Excellent post, I'm waiting for more from your trip!

Although I would have preferred to see slightly less foreground and/or slightly more background, it's a very good photo nonetheless, for it's originality factor!

Hello Pam,

Are you sure they are not dinosaure eggs? The first one has just hatched 5 million years ago ;-) You got a remarkable pov and did a wonderful composition. 3/10s. as shutter speed cannot be better in order to obtain this so nice softness in water! I like also the fact that you used f/22.0 in order to have all the boulders in focus in your picture! Great post and TFS,

Michel

This is very nice capture Pam, you must have been close to the water in order to get this superb low POV on the stones. Love the motion blur on the water. Very nice work.

Hello Pam, interesting shot. Great boulders too! I think the framing is a little tight especailly at the top. I also think B&W would have worked well here combined with a longer shutter speed.

Well done.

*I've turned off my points, I cannot recieve and I cannot give. I'm sorry for the latter*

Wow! I was just looking at Manyee bowling ball boulders and they are very similiar to the ones that you captured, They are cool looking, kinda reminds me of the pods from Ron Howards movie 'Cocoon'. :)

Olá Pam,
...mas que foto mais linda!!!
Estas rochas tem vida própria, é incrível a presença delas no ambiente da tua imagem!
Excelente nas cores (casamento de tonalidades criando um clima tenso e ao mesmo tempo de rara poesia...), excelente nitidez, foco, composição...sem palavras!!
Muito obrigada por compartilhares o teu tabalho!!!
Abraço do Brasil!!

Hi Pam
These rocks are so interesting. There is a place in Ontario Canada called Kettle Point where the are similar round rock. Kettle Point is on the Great Lakes. I wonder if they were made the same as these.

Excellent detail, colours and composition.
