Wow. I really like such shots taken early at the morning far being far away from the typical tourist shot. I love the sea and am having a one week holiday at a small island pretty soon :-)

Beautiful and somewhat mysterious capture. Love the misty greyscale.

@sherri: Thanks, Sherri. This is one of those full-color images that can deceive the eye.

Eric Fry from Houston, TX, United States
Beautiful still water and the perfect amount of fog...Did you have to wait for the sun to rise to a certain point to thin the fog and give the right visibility?
21 Jul 2008 6:51pm
@Eric Fry: Greetings, Eric - thanks. This was an extraordinary morning. It was very chill and the dew point was staying right around the air temperature such that the fog would form and dissipate and then re-form for hours. I started shooting around six am and this image was shot after 9 am. It was a photographer's dream and I got a number of memorable photographs during that time.

A calm and rather cinematic mood in this one, Stephen. I can almost see Bogey sticking his unshaven mug out of one of the port holes.
22 Jul 2008 2:49am
@Michael Skorulski: Well, the Bogey insertion is one I hadn't considered. That's funny... It is good to hear from you again, Michael. Thanks.
