All i ask is a tall ship, and a star to steer her by...

My husband and older son are out of town at a lacrosse tournament, and my younger two received an impromptu invite for a sleepover... so i went down to the lake to practice some nighttime photography

Happy now :)

Beautifulully simple. Great crop

Simple composition but a great sense of possibility and adventure. Love that poem.

[Peter de Graaff]

Wonderful minimalist composition

[Frank Hymus]

Agree with Peter and others above who commented similarly. "Less is more" is the first tip I got from a pro after my first cluttered and feeble snapshot attempts.

[Humphrey Hippo]

Love how the long exposure makes it feel so still.

[❀ Lynn]

Beautiful.

[Kass]

Moody is the word... great shot!

[☠northy]

@russianblue it really was fabulous... it just "happened"... i still need to figure out how to get up half way to barrie for sun set over the fields by the 400....

[Amaya Williams]

i like the limited tonal range-definitely creates a somber mood.

[Paul]

just beautiful

[Alicia]

A wonderful capture of a lonely sea and sky.

[jerry plume]

Wow! Love this! Great contrast!
