Question for you my brother but have you started selling yet or have you even put any of your images up for sale ? just asking mind.

Magical. Looks too good to be a real place.

Definitely one of your recent best- a lovely artistic balance and great range of tones and textures. As johnnyg is suggesting, this could sell by the truckload!

This is a great shot. Added to likeys

....there was just a sea....and than Mal came along....capturing the beauty of this all, love the 'white' surface, great composition, a likey to me.

Is this the primeval soup ... ?
Excellent Mal. richard

Very rich image Mal. Wonderful composition. :o) John

Thanks for returning the EXIF of late - I need the lessons

Excellent, very much so.

Another excellent image Mal ;o)

Fantastic!

An area that you excel at mal.

Great shot! Goes to my likeys.

In the beginning, tree stumps walked out of the oceans and evolved into humans? Cool shot! H.

Another great misty sea shot with a well balanced composition. Very dreamlike.
Ingrid

Excellent shot. I like the lighting on the foamy sea!

Magical and mystical Mal!

Another cracker Mal - looks suspiciously like Sandsend to me........? David.

Another good, atmospheric image Mal.

I have no idea why you don't market your pictures, you could do well.

Dodo birds [if you regard Ice-Age#1 as an authoritative source] operated as a herd of single mind, and all stepped off a cliff...

Whales [if you regard National Geographic as an authoritative source] seem to behave in a similar manner, and a whole pod will beach itself an cause a collective, rotting stench for ages...

Now mal presents evidence that wooden pylons...having outlived their usefulness as a jetty foundation...just follow the leader into the ocean and, perhaps, end up as driftwood on Mary's beach on Prince Edward Island...

What can be causing this mass suicide...despair, stupidity, depression, alien mind-control, desire to emulate the oak leaves at the approach of winter...?

Without form and void! Out of nothing! Ex nihilo. OMG, Mal. It's all coming back.

Oh Mal - this is fantastic! You have really captured a mystical mood here - I wouldn't be surprised if Excalibur were to appear!

nice display of grays here. the long exposure did wonders. I am not so sure about the sky, though...

Bonjour,
well done exposure!Nice treatment..bravo!

See you back to shooting classic shots, mal. Well proven path. Your excursion to the world of flowers was a short lived one, wasn't it?

A high shutter speed by your standards Mal, and I think the picture is the better for it. The water has a wonderful smoky movement to it.

"The beginning saw existence of a chosen dream
But then came pain "
... your title reminded me of the song by Seal of the same name.

I agree with everyone - and Ingrid gets it in a nutshell but... when you do shots like this, I find myself disliking the harshness of the horizon line. It cuts through and jolts the eye from the beauty of the foreground before I can take in the quality of your sky.

It's as though my eye wants a softer, even out of focus horizon. J&A love how you've done this. They say it looks like fog swirling in the mists of time!

Beautifully controlled Mal and a stimulating subject. Would it be better by cutting out the sky - maybe.

Mal ,lay down on the beach next time just to keep Jose happy,doesnt matter that you and camera will get wet. nice one mate.

Ha ha, Mick, see I've no experience of how to take shots like this. I get the picture now!

Another beaut.

Beautiful, Mal.

Very nice long exposure.
your B&W is excellent.
BRavo

apocalyptic but in a soothing and comforting way...

Fantasea majestic image Mal

Lovely composition in this one and a great mood to the image. Lovely.
