Sunset at the Lake
I messed around with the boulders at the edge of Inks Lake in Texas and this long exposure was my favorite with the sun streaking across the water to the boulders. Otherwise, the sunset was a dud. Any feedback?

A couple of old photos taken while the Amtrak was stopped - somewhere in Colorado, I think?
(And yes, I like that the vertical leans!)

This female has arrived at Hamerton. This place rescues animals from all over the world, mainly endangered species, and they breed when they can.

I've photographed Ady a few times now. We get better each time as a team. This image was a fave from our latest session. I hope you like it to.

nice use of the boulders love it :-)
Nice exposure, created that nice silky effect, but not too long to erase some of the detail from the water.
The foreground seems a tad underexposed (I think the long exposure popped out the sun, but sort of washed the sky and foreground). But, otherwise I nice photo
Thanks. It was a very humid day and the horizon was very hazy, so you're correct that the sky is washed out looking.
I messed around on the sunward side of the boulders with my tripod in the water and the boulders looked good, but the background was a mess.
There is another outcropping of rock that I went back to a few days later, but the sky was too cloudy. Still looking for the amazing sunset.
