Beautiful lighting, and even the balance between the darker edge on the right to the brightness on the left is exquisite. Michigan by far has some of the most beautiful scenery I've ever laid eyes on.
I especially love the place on the sand where the water has just washed away from, and it leaves that gorgeous reflection of the golden pinkish light.
Absolutely stunning.

Thank you, Clandestine!
I must agree, Michigan is a beautiful place. I'm blessed to live here and have the opportunity to shoot here. Thank you again for your comments.

Mmm, there is, however, a link provided at the bottom that refers to a larger version of this photo. I'm not sure, but I think I should make this clearer in my next threads.

I'm actually located in Canton, Michigan, due south(?) of Detroit. But I do visit the western side of Michigan quite frequently.

Brilliant Image, well done. I particularly like the way the long exposure softens the water and clouds and the colours are amazing. Don't change a thing.
