Snapshot in my Mind

Ever try to stare at something to make sure you dont forget the beauty of it. This is on the Big Island in Hawaii. i remember thinking that no matter how many pictures I took it wouldnt compare to the actual visual effect of being there. I think its because more senses are involved. Smell, sound and feel. Wish we could capture that....maybe the next generation of photographers and new inventions.

I like the abstractness of the Two Dimensions of a photo It give you the opportunity to fill in the blanks how you think it should be, does that make any sense? .....I like the look of the waves ..... Great photo ..... Great legs also

This is quite refreshing from the usual type of land/seascape. I like the graduated look of the sky. Well done. Thumbs Up!

That is a very beautiful scene, beautifully done. You have kept the definition in the rock in against that sky. It would make an excellent poster. Viv

Nice colors! I love the contrasting 'luke-warm' sky with the somewhat 'cool' waters. Smile

Oh, Maggi - this is gorgeous. Wonderful detail in the rock and the gradations in the sky rock. Couldn't let this one sneak by Smile

Hiya Maggi!.....this is a beauty!....you have summed it all up beautifully, the smell, sound, feel, and the beauty that we see, if only we could bottle it up but we try to do the next best thing of capturing the moment in our photos, and this is a super image!...lovely!.... Smile
