A Dream Come True

It was a dream which I wanted to last a bit longer.

I’m back from my trip. As of tomorrow things are back to normal, challenges and all….

      1. Yes I do, but that little bright part above the water almost makes it look like the photo is tilting.

        1. Well noted…. I was concerned about that, but I think the horizon is straight. I appreciate the feedback, Max.

  5. Welcome back. I’m glad the holiday was one you wen’t eager to return from. My inbox is lonely without you!

    The photo? A delight of composition (the compositional surprise of the viewing platform) and light (God’s fingers, and the path of brightness along the sea.)

    And you come back with an image that has all the qualities of a beautiful dream 🙂 It’s peaceful, serene, undisturbed…I like how that person is looking out over the ocean, as if standing in awe before the majesty of nature …or perhaps wondering how far is the horizon? 🙂 It’s beautiful, Paula.
