    Peter, another great example of good composition pulling you into the image. Of course you’re making me want to leave the brown of Nebraska in winter.

    Very Nice;

    Only 3 1/2 months until I get to hit the beachs of Florida :))

    Peter, I love everything about this image. You’re killing the rest of us living in the dreary winter rains in mid-continent. Haha. I love the detail in the rails and posts in the foreground and on the upper rail planks leading down the steps and the contrast of the orange lighted runners going down at the foot of the steps…and the color and detail in the bushes and then the light of the sky and it’s reflection in that wave just rolling up on the rocks. Awesome image.

    Very nice image Peter! Where was this taken?

    It’s been a long time since you posted a set of images for the readers to process…

    Great shot Peter. I love the way the stairs draw you down into the image and the sky pulls you back up!
