I'm always blown away by the detail you get in the sky with those wispy clouds. Another stunning shot, Ian. My compliments.

Beautiful composition Ian. I really like the B&W effect here. The contrast of the water and the sand and the intensity of the sky looks Great. Wonderful shot.

I like the house in the center of the photo because its reflection is great! The clouds are like smoke in the sky...So beautiful!

John Leech from Grange-over-Sands, United Kingdom

I like this one a lot. Great location - a slight quibble on the reflection meeting the stones, but everything else slots in perfectly, and one great sky.
