I managed to get out for an hour today, up to Fleetwood with John, and probably managed to get one or two shots that I'll put up. I suspect that this one may turn out to be my favourite.

Simple, but effective, and wonderfully restful..
comment byTibs at 09:24 PM (GMT) on 17 December, 2006
Great shot
I really like the cool blue tones
comment byGavin at 09:28 PM (GMT) on 17 December, 2006
Wonderful! Loving those reflections.
comment by Freddy at 09:36 PM (GMT) on 17 December, 2006
It's a simple composition but it gave me goosebumps. Induced a soothing, sense of floaty reverie. Lovely.
comment by Freddy at 09:39 PM (GMT) on 17 December, 2006
p.s. I was listening to Clint Mansell's haunting score from The Fountain while looking at this photo, which may have been why I liked it so much. It made for a great combination of picture-induced mood and music - worth a try....

The crystalinne capture of a glass sculpture immune to smoke, the elements, and time. A tip of the hat to the artist.
comment byTom at 09:53 PM (GMT) on 17 December, 2006
Wow! The reflection is absolute perfect. The colors and the icy landscape makes me feel chilly.
comment byGabriel Loeb at 09:57 PM (GMT) on 17 December, 2006
Beautiful. I absolutely love the colors in the reflection. The muted blue/grays are just awesome. Its interesting the way the sea divides the sky. Cool shot.
comment byJustin at 10:45 PM (GMT) on 17 December, 2006
Perfect symmetry broken by the waves. I love the low view-point and brooding atmosphere. Thanks.

I like to see rules broken effectively. "Never split the frame exactly in two", they say. Bollocks, I say.
Nice one.
comment byJoseph at 11:10 PM (GMT) on 17 December, 2006
wow, so glassy. beautiful!
comment by Andy at 11:14 PM (GMT) on 17 December, 2006
Wow, a fantasic shot. The symetry is has an almost Dali quality.
comment byDaniel at 12:00 AM (GMT) on 18 December, 2006
fantastic!
comment byP.J. at 12:25 AM (GMT) on 18 December, 2006
Awesome shot! The reflections are wonderful! Looks like you had a nice day for shooting!
comment byDAVE at 03:25 AM (GMT) on 18 December, 2006
This is a surreal image which takes some concentration to visualize. You obviously made good use of the light today.
comment byAndrew at 07:17 AM (GMT) on 18 December, 2006
I can see why you like this one it's great. I love the contrast between the mirror smoothness of the sand, the roughness of the waves and the softness of the clouds. i also like the technical points of the composition. It would have been very easy to see the horizon as the key dividing point and matched that two the 3rd but you haven't given in to that. The final thing I like is the way the diagonal waterline notionally intersects with the opposite diagonal in the dark cloud and its reflected counterpart to draw the eyes to the right place. Really Nice.

Glad to see you're feeling better. Wonderful shot, really is beautiful. Do envy you living close to the sea - couldn't be further away here in Derby!
comment byriesenriel at 09:21 AM (GMT) on 18 December, 2006
Wonderful... the sea seems like ice a little bit. Great tones and reflections.
comment byDoug at 10:13 AM (GMT) on 18 December, 2006
I think the word 'crystal' springs to mind with this shot.
nice work
comment byOvidiu at 10:39 AM (GMT) on 18 December, 2006
Perfect mirror! I wonder how it looks upside down! :-)
comment byAlice at 02:18 PM (GMT) on 18 December, 2006
Beautiful shot. I love the reflection of the sky....Great job!
comment by Manuel W. at 02:22 PM (GMT) on 18 December, 2006
Is this reflection real? very nice
comment byJohn Washington at 04:39 PM (GMT) on 18 December, 2006
Nice photo Dave - well spotted
comment byDavid at 07:50 PM (GMT) on 18 December, 2006
The choice for the panorama is great!. I'm also currious, is the reflection real?
comment bydjn1 at 08:21 PM (GMT) on 18 December, 2006
Thanks everyone.
Bill: rules are meant to be broken ;-)
Manuel/David: yes, it's a real reflection.
comment bypeter at 07:37 AM (GMT) on 19 December, 2006
I simply love shots like this - it's as simple as that.
comment by phil at 08:01 AM (GMT) on 19 December, 2006
Great shot - looks almost like a polar landscape - I love it.
comment by Manuel W. at 11:58 AM (GMT) on 19 December, 2006

comment bynavin at 07:48 AM (GMT) on 20 December, 2006
