Your image really gets a lot of ocean effects all in one.

We have green at the bottom as the leaf material then moving up we have the orange brilliance of the orange flowers. Sun streaming from behind

I can feel the damp as I breathe in the aromatic air. Your image has worked it's magic. I like it.
Could be northeast coast.

Great motion capture on the Idaho stream. I can really see water moving in it's twists, turns and power. I work with motion but without a tripod so a slightly different approach. I like your image.

Seems like rockintuesday as it's a rock featured.  the late afternoon sunlight streams into an opening in the woods. A glacial erratic rock is highlighted by the sunbeam as well as forest floor and trees

Correction. Excuse me. I didn't read the title. I suppose an excuse is I'm in Maine and it's 90+ degrees so I'm heat struck and just dreaming of better times. I've looked at more of your photos and you've got some great work. Many I really like. It's refreshing to see real photographic art.

It's a good image that can translate illusive things like temperature without obvious clues. Just by ambiance.

I can feel the winter in this image. Nothing super spectacular to distract from the basic โ€œthis is winterโ€ I like it.

That really captures the action of a cobbled beach interacting with the ocean. I use slow shutter but in a different way without tripod. Really like your image.

That sure looks like a northeast lake I said to myself before I remembered ALT text which confirmed. Looks like a hot day.

Your image is really good in that it captures many aspects of large water interfacing with sky,sun and shoreline sand. I really like it.

This painting caught my eye. Reeds and color. Reminded me of my take on the subject. SUN ON OCEAN REEDS II. Mine is ocean and dazzling sun so a bit different.

it's basically a narrow beam of pure light energy created by the sun between day and night along a treeline. On canvas 24x48

hartstudio, thanks for the repost. It's always good to get more eyes on my art as I'm always trying to communicate something and the more that see the better it works.

Entertaining, never heard of them. Thought I could hear some Yes and Zappa. Looked up and the band said that they were indeed influenced by them along with others.

This is well done not trendy 1950's, but it just hit me as, somehow yes, that's 1951.

 Yellow is a wildflower in motion. Black and green are shadow and plants.

Peter, I always try to make my art as real as I can to the sense of what a place and time is. I'm pleased to hear you found something in it. Thanks

Thanks Peter for the compliment, I'm glad the color came through to you. I always try to capture the feeling of place and time and color. Thanks again

This is a landscape. Near vertical lines are Birch trees. We are looking south. The sun is to the right and setting. The dark bottom left and right are spruce, pine and other trees close and some at a distance. They are in shade already as the sun is low and projecting  beams of light through forest trees onto the Birch. Some fall foliage of last falls Beech is also being illuminated by sun beams. Top blue is sky.
