 I liked how the foreground cement block was like a flipped reflection of Mt. Tamalpais' silhouette.
I couldn't think of a title...

This is two 30 sec exposures. The second one with the same settings I put graduated neutral density filter to darken the sky. Then I blended them together by hand.

Joe, this is so lovely! i don't know what that means, blending together by hand, sounds like a good old fashioned kind of photography skill!

Congrats on Top 10 and a gorgeous image!

Beautiful shot. Really like the color. Light is just right. Shutter speed gave nice effect in the water.

This scene is stunning, soft, sensual, and you still have texture that dominates. Beautiful.

Lovely exposure, I always like it when water looks like mist or fog.
