Excellent shot, Monika...the birds are a wonderful bonus! #155455

Monika Sapek August 06, 2004

Thanks so much, Ellen! I am really pleased you like this image. Landscape photography it still a huge challenge for me and I work, on improving it any time I can.

Wonderful, wonderful image Monika!! You seem to be getting GREAT results from all your landscape 'practicing'!! I also love the birds, but I just love everything about this photograph - and the sepia monochrome effect is just beautiful! Very, very well seen and taken Monika...keep up the great work! :-) #691649

Great misty mood to this sunset, beautiful, Monika! #691749

Monika Sapek August 06, 2004

Carolyn, maybe you will be a little surprised but this is not sepia toning ;-). You can see a little blue in the water. My husband liked this image so I give it try and submitted. Thank you for your very nice comment, Carolyn!

Jennifer, indeed it was very misty and a very nice sunset that day. Hiding in the shadow of this sea stack it gave me different look on this place, which I like very much. I’m glad you took time to comment, Jennifer! Thank you!

This is so beautiful Monika~ I can feel the mist on my face.. I'm assuming this is on the Olympic Peninsular? #691928

Hi Monika What A Great Comp!! A Huge Challenge?Yea Right!!LOL!!This Looks Very Profesional Your Husband Picks Them Well, The Shimmering Water And That Touch Of Color Looks So Good:-) #691936

Susan, yes this image was taken in the Olympic National Park. I was there last week with my family and had a really great time exploring these places again. I love seashores and the sound of the ocean. Thank you for your comment, Susan!

Terry – You are really kind! You take so much time to write the comments on my photos! Thank you so much for that!!!
I tell you that my husband is very picky if we’re talking about my photos. There was a time when he was happy with them, then he started getting bored, and then he really challenged me ;-). Today I must do something really cool to get him attention. Tough life, isn’t it? LOL….

It's a great composition with lots of mood and high technical quality, Monika! Good luck:-) #693524

Karen Engelbreth August 07, 2004

WOOOOOW - wonderful, Monika! #693630

Carolyn J. Connolly August 08, 2004

Hi again Monika! Thanks for the feedback... I didn't actually think that you had sepia-toned your beautiful image - I guess I just expressed myself incorrectly by saying "the sepia monochrome 'effect'"! What I was actually meaning was that you were fortunate enough to capture that sepia 'look' when you TOOK your photograph! Once again Monika, a really gorgeous image! :-) #694059

Monika Sapek August 09, 2004

Mette, Karen, and Carolyn – I want to thank you for your generous and kind comments on this image! Always a pleasure to hear something from you! Thank you!
