Shot same day as my Week 08 picture. I don't want to get too far behind and figured it's best to get something out there.

We stopped at the dunes and had a bit of time and the sky looked fantastic so I took some pics. Lots of pics.

A lovely scene and great pic. I love the soft glow to this and it reminds me of a warm misty day at the beach, nicely done.

Gosh this is an interesting shot, with the fence leading you along the beach, the lake, the sky the trees. Interesting filters too. I wouldn't have thought of using the soft focus/glamour glow on a shot like this. Just goes to show you should experiment a bit.

This is one of those shots I want to see bigger. There's so much lovely detail to explore and it's hard to do at the sizes we have here. The composition is very strong, with the fence providing a good foreground subject, the line of trees coming down on the right. I do like the glow/soft focus but would also like to see it crisp to reflect the chill and crispness of the snow. Looks like a wonderful day for shots - glad you had the opportunity!

Nice shot, I like the wandering fence through the center of the image. It would benefit from a stronger focal point.

nice shot! i really like how the elements of the image work together (the fence curving with the sand, the trees comin down to meet the water...), maybe a settle boost in contrast? beautiful shot.

Beautifully soft and flowy. Those fences make for a lot of visual interest.

What a beautiful landscape. I like the dark trees on the right in combination with the white clouds and the nice lines in the fence, almost separating land and sea.
